Gently frothy. The intense, heady Muscat perfumes have the immediacy of freshly picked grapes. The wine’s natural sweetness is offset by a fine, clean acidity. Thanks to a unique combination of brilliantly innovative packing and exciting and rare styles, the wines of Cascina Castlet have quickly developed a cult following. Passum is their most famous wine, a Barbera made from partially dried grapes. Quantities are extremely limited and demand is high. Other notable wines include Litina, a cru Barbera d’Asti with considerable depth and concentration, and a sublimely scented Moscato d’Asti, as well as Avie, an intense Moscato passito (12 x 75 cl)

Cascina Pellerino DESIRE Arneis Roero DOCG
Description: An ancient variety grown near Alba in Piemonte recently saved from extinction by a few notable Barolo producers such Bruno Giacoso, Arneis is sometimes referred to as Barolo Bianco although never labelled as such. Difficult to grow because of its delicate skin, 'Arneis' in the regional dialect means 'whimsical.' It is often used as a blender to soften tannins in the red wines of the area, much as the French use Viognier in the Northern Rhone. The best bunches of the vineyards of Bricco della Salute are set aside to the production of Roero Arneis 'Desire'. The traditional wine-making provide for soft press of clusters after the harvesting and stalk stripping. The must extract is ferment with selected yeasts, they give fresh and fruit fragrance. After the alcoholic fermentation wine is left in steel tank for two months for the aging. Desire is a fresh, elegant and bright straw-coloured wine. The fruit fragrances, typical of this vineyard, are very intense and very elegant thanks to a careful vinification. It presents an excellent balance between softness and sourness, while the taste is persistent with a fresh note at the end. (6 x 75 cl)
