Cascina Penna-Currado's entry-level red comes from the Bricco Lago vineyard in Monforte d'Alba, a biodiversity-rich site near the only natural lake in the Langhe. Fermented with roughly 70% whole clusters/stems and aged in stainless steel to preserve freshness, it shows wild berries, cherry and fresh herbs lifted by lavender and clove, with a supple, energetic palate of crunchy black raspberry, a touch of graphite and a clean, lightly saline mineral finish.
Proof that Dolcetto doesn't need to be simple — the Bricco Lago site and whole-cluster fermentation give this bottling real aromatic complexity for the price.
