Elena Penna and Luca Currado Vietti, who spent over 35 years at Piedmont's lauded Vietti, launched their personal venture in a renovated 1554 cascina in Serralunga d'Alba. The Carrà vineyard lies in the San Sebastiano area of Monforte, where biodiversity and mineral-rich soils produce grapes of remarkable concentration. The wine is vinified partially as whole cluster and aged in traditional botti, preserving freshness and complexity without excessive ripeness or extraction. This is Barbera at its most elegant—ripe wild herbs and lavender float above the wine's iron-rich, gamey core.

"Tasted from cask, the 2023 Barbera d’Alba Carrà is hugely promising. It’s one of my favorite wines in this range so far. Deep and explosive, the 2023 offers a captivating mix of dark fruit, along with a host of complicating floral, savory and mineral overtones. It’s a very serious wine in the making. That’s not terribly surprising, given how captivating the Barberas were at Vietti during the Currados’ tenure." —Antonio Galloni

More about Cascina Penna Currado

Cascina Penna-Currado is the new project of Luca Currado Vietti and Elena Penna, for decades the faces of Piedmont powerhouse Vietti. The family sold Vietti to American businessman Kyle Krause in 2016, and the couple stayed on until January 2023. Now based at Cascina Lazzarito, a 16th-century farmhouse atop the Lazzarito cru in Serralunga, they work about 20 hectares, mostly leased: Nebbiolo, Barbera and Dolcetto in Monforte, Barolo parcels, and Timorasso from the Colli Tortonesi. Their children Michele and Giulia are already involved.
