Luca Currado and Elena Penna channel their decades at Vietti into this Timorasso from the Colli Tortonesi. Submerged cap maceration on 15-year-old vines develops complexity beyond typical white wine—acacia and camomile on the nose, tropical hints lurking beneath mineral-driven acidity. Aged in cement barrels, this wine demands decanting to unlock its aromatic potential. A fresh release from an often-overlooked region.

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.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 93
"The 2024 Timorasso is bright, airy and nuanced. This is an especially refined expression of Timorasso, a wine that favors citrus and floral notes more than the phenolic structure that is typical of this indigenous variety. Dried flowers, mint and a touch of petrol shape the long, distinguished finish. This is such an elegant, refined wine."
