2019 Cascina Castlet Passum 3 lt. Jéroboam Wooden Box
Passum harks back to wines praised by the ancients, wines that were the result of lengthy maturation or semi-drying of the grapes.Deep garnet colour, with the limpidity and warm, intense sheen of garnet turning to ruby that are the assurance of great richness and a powerful structure. Broad, elegant and lingering bouquet with hints of plum and redcurrant jam. Warm, austere palate that underscores Passum's generosity and fullness. Its notable harmony and balance are enhanced by tannins that soften to sweetness and by a pleasant sapidity. Very intense and long-lasting aroma typical of great, long-aging wines.
Cascina Castlèt has belonged to the Borio family for generations. I, 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.
