Project

A business is, first and foremost, a project.
And a project is a dream that takes shape a bit at a time, first on paper, then on the ground, and at the end, for us, in the wine. Our project has been simple because, naturally, one must on one hand respect nature and the environment and, on the other hand, keep up to date technologically.
But simple does not mean easy. We have had to be adventurous at certain times, solid and down-to-earth at others; we have had to make investments in land, technology and, above all, research, and the result is Cascina Castle’t.
A small-sized firm that offers a high-profile, extremely elegant product at a fair price.
We offer our customers the best that our twenty-hectare vineyard in Costigliole d’Asti produces, personally attending to the entire process, from the vineyard to the table where the wine will be drunk.
We have gambled on the land, our land, on the local vines, Barbera, Moscato, Uvalino and Cabernet, the latter being a universal vine that, nonetheless, had already taken root in our territory in the 1800s.
Cascina Castle’t has been in the Borio family for generations, and I, Mariuccia, the present owner, inherited it from my father in 1970, and on it I have lavished not only all my love, but all the experienced I gained working in my family’s wine shop, in Turin, as well. Knowing the customer’s tastes has been the tool used to pinpoint the most suitable means to produce wines that meet the general public’s expectations.
Our taste, completely feminine, and courage, female as well, have led us to offering striking bottles and labels, at times provocative, always moderate and elegant, bestowing on the customer a mark of individuality: “Whoever chooses a bottle of Cascina Castle’t loves beautiful things, the good things in life, the things that dreams are made of”. It is a question of ethics and culture.
For us, ethics and culture mean respecting the environment and those who work in it. Be it the “nests” project, which we set up to protect birds and to get them to help us, or our collaboration with universities and no-profit organisations, or our hands-on commitment to the activities of Le donne del Vino (The Women of Wine), everything is done with the aim of achieving serenity.
Only a serene atmosphere can provide the high quality of work needed to produce wine at our level.
The winery is currently being enlarged, with special attention being paid to our grape-drying department, the feather in our hat, and our mastery of which it would be hard to find elsewhere.
A touch of whimsy as regards the names of our wines, Passum, Policalpo, Avié , Litina, Goj: all of them contain a little secret, a tale, a story, which we would invite you to try to learn.
