Ethereal and spicy overtones are blended with dreamy hints of liquorice, vanilla and tobacco coupled with the pleasant vegetal undertone typical of Cabernet.

Cascina Castlèt has belonged to the Borio family for generations. I'm Mariuccia, inherited it from my father in 1970. Over the years I’ve had to make brave decisions, also with regard to marketing, with bottles and labels that have been seductive, sometime provocative and very individual. A touch of creativity has always gone into the names of our wines: Passum, Policalpo, Avié, Litina, Goj, Ataj and Uceline. They all have a little secret, a story, which we invite you to try and discover.

“Those who choose a bottle of Cascina Castlèt love beautiful things, good things, things that make them dream”. It’s a matter of ethics and culture. For us, ethics and culture mean respect for the environment and for those who work with it.

Pairing Suggestions: To be drunk with outstanding meat dishes on classic or local cuisine menus. Enhances dishes prepared with white truffles, excellent with mushrooms and a good companion for mature cheeses.

Maturation: Maturity is attained in the barrique after twelve months and followed by the acquisition of finesse in bottle for at least six months. Policalpo is placed on the market in the second year after the harvest. Its constitution and sound structure will continue to acquire greater elegance and harmony for at least 7-8 years
