Vintage Character Cascina Lieto Vino Bianco 'Lieto' Riserva 2021 is a more concentrated, extended-expression Piedmont white built around Moscato's aromatic character. Around the Langhe-Asti border, Moscato can give dry whites a distinctive combination of floral lift, stone-fruit richness and lightly spicy texture, especially when handled in an artisanal, low-intervention style. The Riserva positioning gives this bottling extra depth and breadth while keeping the variety's natural perfume at the centre.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing The wine opens with orange blossom, ripe peach, apricot, candied citrus peel and fresh grape notes, followed by chamomile, ginger, almond and a faint honeyed edge. The palate is dry, medium-bodied and aromatic, with moderate acidity, gentle grip and a longer, more layered finish than the standard bottling. Pair it with richer seafood dishes, roast poultry, soft cheeses, mushroom risotto or lightly spiced Asian dishes.
Winery Background Cascina Lieto is a small Piedmont producer associated with natural-leaning, low-intervention wines. This Riserva profile should emphasize Moscato's perfume and texture in a dry white format, with enough depth and savory detail to support the elevated positioning of the bottling.
