Cascina Penna Currado, Dolcetto D'Alba Bricco Lago, 2023
is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
Cascina Penna Currado is a small but dedicated estate in the heart of Piedmont, crafting wines that honor tradition while embracing a sense of place. While Dolcetto is often seen as the region’s easygoing everyday red, Bricco Lago comes from a prime hillside site, showing that this grape can have real depth and character. The 2023 vintage, shaped by a steady growing season, highlights the balance between fruit, structure, and freshness that makes Dolcetto such a Piedmont staple.
While many Dolcettos lean toward simple fruitiness, Bricco Lago has a bit more grip and tension, making it a perfect match for hearty northern Italian fare. The vineyard’s elevation helps preserve acidity, ensuring a lively, refreshing finish even with its deeper concentration. It’s a wine that bridges the gap between immediacy and ageability—delicious now but capable of evolving over the next few years.
Ideal with classic Piemontese dishes like tajarin pasta with ragù, grilled sausages, or a wedge of young toma cheese, this is Dolcetto with serious charm and authenticity. Enjoy it slightly cool for a fresher take, or let it open up for a more structured experience.
