Luca Currado and Elena Penna spent more than 35 years running Vietti, and their new family estate set out to make Dolcetto matter again. They say the goal is to bring back what once made Dolcetto a complex wine while keeping it very drinkable. That means an everyday red with real substance, not an afterthought. Part of the method goes back to 1988, when Luca, in his last year of oenology school, made an experimental Dolcetto with half the bunches fermented whole. The estate has revived that approach to give the grape more weight and a more modern edge. The fruit comes from the San Sebastiano area of Monforte d'Alba (in recent vintages, three small vineyards with vines averaging about 40 years old), farmed organically on the cooler, biodiverse sites the couple deliberately seek out. They left Vietti in January 2023 and now work alongside their children, Michele and Giulia, and the label is a BIC-pen drawing by artist Giuseppe Stampone of children looking toward the horizon.

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.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Agnolotti del plin with butter and sage, tajarin with meat ragù, salumi and Piedmontese cheeses, pizza with sausage, roast chicken with herbs.

Tasting Profile

Expect the classic Dolcetto d'Alba profile: dark cherry, blackberry and plum with violets and a hint of bitter almond. Partial whole-bunch fermentation typically adds lift, a peppery, floral edge and a little more grip. Think a darker, more substantial Beaujolais: medium-bodied, with soft acidity, firm but supple tannins and a dry, gently bitter finish.
