La Milla Cascina Borgatta 2020
Why it's worth a try
Same rugged Piemonte hills, but this 2020 leans into darker fruit and a bit more grit than their La Milla 2019. Black cherry and leather hit hard, then smoky earth lingers like a midnight whisper. It’s bold, alive, and built to challenge your palate.
Cascina Borgatta
Old-School Piemonte Dolcetto
A true time capsule of Piemonte winemaking, Cascina Borgatta has been crafting Dolcetto the same way for generations. This humble, family-run winery operates with a hands-off approach, letting the land and the grapes do the talking. Producing fewer than 10,000 bottles per year, they embrace slow, careful aging to bring out depth and character.
Their Dolcetto is not the light, easy style you might expect—it’s dark, structured, and built to last. A rare taste of Piemonte’s past, made with patience and love.
WINE REGION
Piemonte: The King of Italian Reds
One of Italy’s most prestigious wine regions, Piemonte produces around 2.5 million hectoliters of wine yearly and is home to over 18,000 wineries. It’s the birthplace of Barolo and Barbaresco—two of Italy’s most celebrated wines.
Known for powerful reds like Nebbiolo, Barbera, and Dolcetto. Barolo alone accounts for about 14 million bottles produced annually.
Rolling hills, cool Alpine influences, and rich limestone soils make Piemonte ideal for complex, structured wines with excellent aging potential. Fog (or nebbia, which inspired Nebbiolo’s name) is a signature element of the region’s climate.
