- TASTING NOTE: "The 2022 Dolcetto d'Alba Bricco Lago is a potent, burly wine. Black cherry, plum, leather, licorice, game, incense and tobacco are front and center. This wild, gamy Dolcetto is rough around the edges and quite rustic in feel. I would prefer to drink it over the next few years, as some gently oxidative notes are already present." Antonio Galloni, Vinous 2024
- ABOUT THE WINE: From vineyards in Monforte d'Alba, an area with particularly great natural biodiversity. Elena and Luca strongly believe in Dolcetto as an important “tool” for young wine drinkers and their entry level exposure to the Langhe. The grapes are vinified whole cluster, and aging takes place in stainless steel for this fragrant rendition of Dolcetto.

ABOUT THE PRODUCER: Cascina Penna-Currado is the new personal venture of the Penna-Currado Vietti family, spearheaded by Elena Penna, Luca Currado Vietti and their kids, Michele and Giulia. Custodians of a cultural and sentimental legacy in the noble lands of the Langhe, Luca and Elena spent over 35 years at the helm of one of Piedmont’s most lauded wineries, Vietti, until both decided to part ways in January of 2023. Their new venture is of entirely different scale, artisanal, and they look forward to building it as a family endeavor with their marvelous mix of wit, wisdom and refreshed ambition grounded by their sound roots and experience in the Langhe. The winery calls home a renovated cascina in Serralunga d’Alba that dates back to 1554, while the vineyards span pristine parcels of the Langhe and Derthona areas. Care for the land and the choice of vineyards is of particular importance to the Cascina Penna-Currado operation: they have opted for cooler areas, rich in biodiversity and keen to a new, longevous interpretation of the Langhe.
