Asti, Piedmont

Il Cascinone

Il Cascinone is a Piedmont estate in the Monferrato hills near Asti, working old-vine fruit across the region. It has built a name for serious, characterful wines that drink well above their price, led by a range of Barbera that runs from approachable, fruit-forward bottlings to single-vineyard selections off sixty-year-old vines. The wines are smooth, generous and reliably good value, an easy way into the warmth and charm of Piedmontese reds.

Up in the rolling Monferrato hills near Asti, this is warm, welcoming Piedmont, the gentler counterpart to the serious hills of Barolo and Barbaresco to the west. It's Barbera country, and Il Cascinone has made its name on exactly that: honest, characterful reds that taste like they should cost a good deal more.

Barbera leads the way here, and the estate shows just how far the grape can stretch, from bright, juicy, everyday bottlings to single-vineyard cuvées off vines pushing sixty years old, with real depth and grip. Smooth, dark-fruited, and always generous.

If you want an easy and rewarding way into the charm of Piedmont without the Nebbiolo price tag, this is it.

The Indent Offer.

Our pre-arrival offer is open. Under the en primeur system you reserve the wines before they reach Australia, and in return we hold them at heavily reduced indent prices for pre-payment. Quantities are limited, so orders are filled first come, first served.

To secure your indent order, you can purchase the wines below directly through the online store. Alternatively, to reserve any of these wines, you can call or email your order through to the team at Cottesloe. We will hold your bottles at the indent price, with payment required before the wines arrive in August, and confirm pick up or delivery once the container lands.
