Carussin was born in 1927 at San Marzano Oliveto, a small town in the region of Monferrato, south of Asti (between the hills of Nizza Monferrato and Canelli), right after the settlement of it founder: Ferro Maggiore, who came from the near Calosso (it is where the name Carussin comes from, in Piedmontese dialect it means “Calossese”, “from Calosso”).
In its begginings the Farm consisted of one house with 4 hectars of vineyards, to be expanded with the acquisition of a second house with 2 hectars. In 1950 Maggiore Ferro passes away crusche by an ox and his son Carlo follows with his work, helped by his uncle Giovanni. In the following years the Farms winegrowing potential gets stronger, substituing apple plantations with grapes, specially of Barbera d’Asti; reaching the current Vineyard area of circa 13 in town and circa 6 in Gino’s and Angelo’s lands, Luigi’s father and uncle respectively, from whom we buy such great grapes. The Farm’s lands are complete with fields of Clan!Destino beer’s barley and an area of 6.87 HA of woods in Roccaverano.
