Cascina Lieto is a boutique natural winery situated in Castiglione Tinella, Piedmont, founded by Japanese couple Rie and Hiroto Sasaki. Embracing organic farming, spontaneous fermentations, and zero chemical additives, they produce distinctive, terroir-driven wines with soul and elegance.

Vino Rosso Frizzante "Croche" 2022 takes its name from croccante ("crunchy" in Italian). A unique blend of Barbera and aromatic Moscato Bianco, this natural sparkling red undergoes secondary fermentation directly in bottle (ancestral method) and is released without disgorgement for maximum freshness and raw textural bite.

Tasting Profile: Vibrant translucent ruby with a persistent, fine fizzy mousse. Lively scents of tart red cherry, pomegranate, dried rose petals, and subtle citrus blossom. Crunchy and refreshingly dry on the palate, with energetic acidity, fine tannin grip, and a clean, mouthwatering finish.

Serve chilled (10–12°C). A fantastic festive aperitivo and brilliant food pairing for Hong Kong char siu, roast duck, pizza, charcuterie, or spicy dishes.

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.
