The water of Vaie, a town in the Low Susa Valley at the foot of the Sacra di San Michele mountaintop abbey, is renowned for its lightness and purity. It’s no coincidence that in 2004 founder Davide Zingarelli (a mechanical engineer with a passion for brewing) chose the site to install his very own brewery. Brewmaster Lorenzo Turco has worked on the project since the outset, while partners Gianluca Poggio and Enrique Jiménez Gonzáles joined the business in 2011, bringing their experience in the catering world (an important part of the visitor’s experience) with them. The beers are characterised by drinkability and lightness: this is the case, for example, of Crus Lite which, albeit with a lower alcohol content, now supplements the line of Crus inspired by Belgian tradition but reinterpreted with Italian sensitivity. The top of the range, Crus Triple, is a satisfying brew thanks to its aromatic complexity. The most popular label with the public is Slurp, a low-fermentation beer that captures the Italian pils style to perfection. The production range is vast and in summer the outside tables are a tempting invitation to return – again and again.
