AboutCascina Tavijn
Four generations of the Verrua family have farmed Cascina Tavijn in Scurzolengo, in the hills of Monferrato. Nadia Verrua joined her parents, Teresa and Ottavio, around 2000 and began bottling the family’s wines, which had previously been sold in demijohns.
Grignolino, Barbera and Ruchè are central to the vineyards, which are farmed organically. In the cellar, Nadia works with spontaneous fermentation, little added sulphur and no filtration.
Cascina Tavijn 2020 Vino Rosso
Italian Red
$39.99
Ruby red, this Barbera and Freisa blend offers red fruit, herbs and undergrowth. The palate is warm and soft, with structure, lively tannins, freshness and a persistent finish. Fermentation and refinement take place over several months in fibreglass tanks. The vineyards are in Scurzolengo, Piedmont, and are farmed organically. The wine is bottled unfiltered at thirteen and a half percent alcohol.
Cascina Tavijn 2018 Rosetta Frizzante Rosé
Italian Rosé
$42.99
Lightly frizzante and garnet in colour, this rosé shows cherry, white peach, raspberry, blueberry, strawberry, rose and spice. A slight sweetness accompanies apricot and fresh-fruit notes. Freisa receives about twenty hours of skin contact, then ferments at low temperature in stainless steel. The wine spends eighteen months in tank, is bottled unfined and unfiltered, and closes with a crown cap. The vines grow on limestone and are farmed without pesticides or chemical fertilizers.
Cascina Tavijn 2023 Bandita
Italian Red
$49.99
Deep ruby colour with violet shadows accompanies red fruit, forest floor, wet earth and herbal tones. The wine is intense, with strong acidity and a long earthy persistence. Old vines grow on calcareous ground at 260 metres. Grapes are harvested by hand, ferment spontaneously with indigenous yeasts and macerate for about two months before maturation in steel.
Cascina Tavijn 2021 68 Rosso
Italian Red
$46.99
Barbera and Ruchè are used in equal proportions. The wine spends thirty days macerating in plastic vats, then matures in stainless steel before unfiltered bottling, with twenty milligrams per litre of sulphur added. Blueberry fruit appears with sweetness, liquorice and spicy tannins. This Natural red wine comes from Piedmont and contains fourteen and a half percent alcohol.
Cascina Tavijn 2019 Teresa Ruchè Rosso
Italian Red
$43.99
Highly aromatic and vibrant, with rose petals, dark berries and black cherry leading into licorice, pepper and earthy spice. The palate is plush and juicy, driven by vivid primary fruit and lively acidity rather than weight. A gentle rustic edge adds character, while the finish remains fresh, floral and quietly savoury.
