Cascina Penna-Currado is the project of Luca Currado Vietti and Elena Penna, formerly of Piedmont powerhouse Vietti. Luca made the wine — some of the best, most highly-regarded Piemontese wines of the past 20 years — while Elena handled sales and hospitality.The family sold the estate to an American businessman in 2016, but Luca and Elena stayed on to make wine. The couple's 2023 departure rocked the wine world. In the intervening years, they’ve acquired prime parcels in Serralunga, at the top of the cru of Lazzarito.They farm 20 hectares of vines, planted to Nebbiolo, Barbera, Dolcetto, and the rare white grape Timorasso. These two winemakers, joined by their children Giulia and Michele, have Piedmont in their veins. Their skills are undeniable, having been tested for decades in the construct of their work at Vietti. This extremely personal project, now allows them new avenues through which to express their passion for the vine and for Piedmont’s rich history.
