Cascina Luisin is a family-owned estate in Piedmont, founded in 1913. The estate has always been run by the Minuto family, with the aim of maintaining meticulous control over all stages of winemaking, viticulture and operations.

The winery is situated in the Rabaja area of Barbaresco, one of the epicenters of Langhe’s winemaking. The winery cultivates 20 acres of vineyards and produces an average of 30,000 bottles yearly. Cascina Luisin concentrates on the four classic grape varieties: Nebbiolo, Barbera, Dolcetto and Arneis.

Made from 100% Nebbiolo, Barolo Leon is aged for a minimum of three years in oak or chestnut. The wine has a garnet-red color and the nose is intense and persistent. It is exceptionally complex and tends to favor, depending on the state of evolution, fruity and floral notes like violet and vanilla or tertiary notes such as tar and spices.

In the mouth, the “hard” components (acidity, tannins, salts) are nicely balanced by the "soft" (alcohols and sugar alcohols) with a great intensity and persistence that make Barolo wines powerful, elegant and full of personality.
