Cantina Cascina Castlet Costigliole d'Asti

Costigliole d’Asti is a must, its imposing castle located on the hill top fascinates any tourist from any road it is reached, and if you want to try pleasant experience, once you get near Costigliole, a visit to Cascina Castlet, in the locality of Castelletto, just outside the village, is recommend.

Cascina Castlet is a typical farmhouse, as they used to be in the past, located on the crest of the hill with vineyards on both sides. At first glance there is nothing different from any other farm. Visitors who reach it find Mariuccia and Ada to receive them, can taste the wines, Barbera above all, in all versions, from Goj, joyful and sparkling, to the elegant Passum, but also Moscato, either in its natural fermentation version and in the charming raisin version: Avi.

But there is an element that distinguishes Cascina Castlet, and the visitor notices it right away by looking at the labels, modern, fine even if open–minded, innovative and classic at the same time.

This is Cascina Castlet, the result of the encounter between rural traditions and urban culture of the owner’s family who has lived, studied and worked in the center of Turin in the family wine shop frequented by the upper class and the intellectual elite of the city. When you know it, you better understand the outstanding research that does not stop at the design and the label, but extends in wines.

There is even a wine, Uceline, that is the result of university scientific research and the recovery of a twenty–years–old vine, then endangered, which has allowed this precious wine to exist for now in exclusive company. It is understandable, then, the reason of the kind gestures, you fall in love with the ancient mother who occasionally sits in front of the threshold to take the sunset sun and greets every guest with a smile.

You can admire the modern winery, a jewel of rationality, light, and cleanliness. And we understand that the little table in the little room, where you sit in a few to enjoy a glass of wine, must remain so. It is a matter of seriousness and honesty, reflecting that wines are honest, in price and in its declared identity. A visit that remains in the memory for its simplicity and taking away a bottle means to renew that serene moment.
