Tasting Notes: From a distinctive vineyard in Monforte d’Alba, known for its rich biodiversity and clay-limestone soils, Nebbiolo vines descend from the church of San Sebastiano towards the Langhe's only natural lake. The process begins with cold maceration, followed by whole berry fermentation (excluding whole clusters to prevent excessive intensity). Barrel aging for 8 to 12 months elevates this Nebbiolo to a unique status compared to others in its category.
Estate History: Cascina Penna-Currado is the new personal project of the Penna-Currado Vietti family, led by Elena Penna, Luca Currado Vietti, and their children, Michele and Giulia. As custodians of a rich cultural and sentimental heritage in the Langhe, Luca and Elena spent over 35 years leading the renowned Vietti winery until they decided to start a new chapter in January 2023. Their new, smaller-scale, artisanal venture is a family effort, combining their wit, wisdom, and renewed ambition, deeply rooted in their extensive experience in the Langhe.
