Cascina Lieto is an artisanal micro-estate in Castiglione Tinella, Piedmont, helmed by Japanese winemakers Rie and Hiroto Sasaki. Practicing natural, hands-off viticulture and winemaking, the couple creates small-batch bottlings that express the gentle microclimate and limestone soils of the Asti-Langhe border.

Vino Bianco "Lieto" Riserva 2022 (bearing "LR" on the label) is the reserve bottling of the estate's skin-contact white. Sourced from the oldest Moscato Bianco parcel and given an extended skin maceration followed by prolonged resting on the fine lees, it delivers elevated richness, complexity, and cellaring potential.

Tasting Profile: Glowing deep amber-gold. Complex and layered aromatics of candied citrus peel, dried apricot, beeswax, toasted almonds, and crushed stone. The palate is textured and expansive with a creamy mid-palate, firm phenolic grip, vibrant acidity, and an enduring savory finish.

Serve at 12–14°C in large burgundy stems. Pairs brilliantly with Cantonese roast goose, rich seafood, wild mushroom dishes, and mature aged cheeses.

Cascina Lieto, Castiglione Tinella

Founded in 2018 by Japanese couple Rie and Hiroto Sasaki, Cascina Lieto is nestled in Castiglione Tinella, bridging Piedmont’s Langhe and Asti regions. Hiroto, a wine veteran in Italy since 1997, combines his expertise with an old estate featuring 50-year-old Moscato vines, supplemented by rented plots in Madonna di Como for Freisa, Barbera, Nebbiolo, and Cortese. From their humble 600-bottle debut in 2018 to today’s 4,000-bottle output, their meticulous, intuitive approach—harvesting at peak “crunchy” seed ripeness, unhurried fermentations, and mandatory two-year bottle aging—yields wines of profound aromatic depth and drinkability. Rooted in nature’s rhythm, they craft singular Piedmontese expressions that defy convention.
