Cascina Castlèt

Cascina Castlèt is steeped in the rich history of the Borio family, who have been part of the Asti landscape since 1198. At the heart of this estate is Mariuccia Borio, whose deep passion for winemaking reflects both the land’s heritage and her personal journey in viticulture. Each harvest celebrates this unique story.

With 55 harvests under her belt, Mariuccia has witnessed the evolution of both her family estate and the broader wine industry. Her commitment to sustainable practices resonates deeply with her family’s legacy, merging tradition with innovation. By installing nesting boxes for birds, she embraces a symbiotic relationship with the environment, allowing nature to play its vital role in pest control.

Mariuccia’s dedication is evident in her words: “In the field of wine, one must have much patience because neither science nor technology can be substituted for the transformation time gives to wine.” This sentiment captures the essence of what she brings to Cascina Castlèt—a soulful approach to winemaking that prioritizes people, the land, and the timeless traditions passed down through the ages. Her story and that of Cascina Castlèt are a testament to the enduring connection between family, history, and the pursuit of excellence in every bottle produced.
