Lungo Sorso Brewery: Craft Excellence in Mathi
The Lungo Sorso Brewery, located at Via Torino 17 in Mathi, in the heart of Piedmont, is a craft microbrewery that since 2008 has been passionately dedicated to producing high-quality top-fermentation beers. Founded by Sergio Taricone, a true enthusiast and former homebrewer, the brewery has managed to grow and establish itself until relocating to its current premises in 2014, significantly expanding its production capacity and the variety of beers offered.
Lungo Sorso’s philosophy is based on the use of carefully selected, top-quality ingredients, with a strong connection to the local area: fine malts, aromatic spices, local honey, and raw cane sugar sourced from fair trade. This careful selection gives each beer a distinctive character without sacrificing authenticity and balance. Furthermore, all beers are bottle-conditioned using the traditional Champenoise method, ensuring unfiltered and unpasteurized products, rich in natural aromas and nuances.
A Place Where Beer Becomes an Experience
Next to the brewery is a cozy pub, an informal gathering spot where enthusiasts can taste all the beers produced on-site. It is the ideal place to relax and share pleasant moments accompanied by platters of local cheeses and cured meats, which enhance the flavors of the beers on tasting.
