Torbido Cascina Ebreo 2016

Cascina Ebreo was born from the idea of ​​a Swiss computer scientist, Peter Weimer, who moved to the Langhe with his wife to revive an old farmhouse and its vineyards, in a strong desire to return to the origins. This is how Cascina Ebreo, despite being in one of the most prestigious crus of Barolo, the Ravera, does not live in obsequious veneration of the denomination but bottles authentic and honest wines.

"We fight not to have defects. Those we cannot avoid, we accept and defend them."

In the 90s he was seen as an anarchist of Barolo. Able to spend 700 hours a year in the vineyard for only 2 hectares, he took care of the plants in a maniacal way. His innate curiosity drove him to make wine and experiment, his wines are unique, out of the box and able to rekindle curiosity in even the most tired palates. Peter leaves Cascina Ebreo after being surrounded by friends, oenologists, acquaintances and enthusiasts. His work was the beginning that still continues in the hands of the free winemakers who work today the lands of Cascina Ebreo.

"Pete's work, hitherto pioneering and solitary, becomes a shared lesson: the possibility of looking at the Langhe as a field of experimentation, as a gym to produce wines that do not want to reproduce themselves, reiterating the obvious , but become yourself. "
