Birra Baladin Xyauyu Fume 2010

TASTING NOTES

Xyauyù Fumè is the most complex expression of Teo’s approach to the creation of what he calls “couch beers”, to be enjoyed and savored slowly. It is a top-fermented beer which has undergone macro-oxidation and has been aged for twelve months in Islay Scottish whisky barrels, which give it a natural peaty flavor. It has a deep dark color with copper nuances; when poured, it has no head and no gas.

BREWERY SNAPSHOT

The Baladin brewery was originally created in 1996 as a brewpub (production and bar) in Piozzo, Italy – a small village in the Langhe area in the province of Cuneo – by its founder and master brewer Teo Musso.

DID YOU KNOW?

Baladin Brewery made the innovative choice to develop a short production chain, with the commitment to directly produce its ingredients. This led to the first 100% Italian beer made with Italian ingredients, including Italian hops from an experimental cultivation managed by Baladin. It has now become a completely autonomous brewery: from the production of raw ingredients, to their processing, from beer production to the optimization of energy resources and finally distribution.
