Every return to Umbria starts with a visit to a local winery to pick up some wine for everyday consumption. Vino sfuso is bulk wine (usually sold in 5 liter jugs) that will be the centerpiece of all of our informal lunches and dinners. The winemaker fills your bottles directly from a stainless steel cask using a contraption that looks much like a gasoline pump for your car. When we get home, I then have the relaxing task of pouring the big bottles into small ones. How does it taste? all vino sfuso is not created equal — so be sure to try it before buying.
