Vino Sfuso

Literally translated as “loose wine”, meaning unpackaged or unbottled, we know it as keg wine, tap wine, table wine, etc. It’s local and ultra cheap, between €1 and €1,80 per liter, but tastes great. There are several types available including Riesling, Merlot, and even Prosecco. We’re big fans of the Pinot Grigio and have recently tried the Cabernet Sauvignon. You buy a 5-liter container with your first vino purchase and take it back to be refilled once it’s empty. Once home, I distribute ours into smaller, 1-liter bottles. This enables easy refrigeration for the whites and eliminates air in the larger bottle. Let’s just say, we’re hooked on the loose wine!
