Dolcetto
About this wine
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.
A juicy, easy-drinking red — a gentle, affordable introduction to the Penna-Currado style.
Sommelier's Note
"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."
Food Pairings
A versatile, food-friendly Dolcetto — pairs well with cured salumi, pizza, and grilled vegetables; the bright acidity and soft tannins make it an easy match for everyday meals.
When to drink it

バルベーラ・ダルバ・スペリオーレ カッラ
Barbera d'Alba Superiore Carrà
RedBarbera
A single-vineyard Barbera from two south-west-facing parcels named Carrà in the San Sebastiano area of Monforte d'Alba, planted in 1965 and 2000. High altitude, cooling air currents and late ripening from old vines concentrate the fruit while preserving acidity. The wine shows a deep, youthful colour with ripe plum, blueberry and pressed lavender, iron and gamey notes, balsamic touches, and a crisp minerality that balances its full body through to an elegant, herb-tinged finish. Note: this Carrà bottling is produced entirely by Cascina Penna-Currado and is distinct from the unrelated, separately owned producer Cascina Carrà, also based in San Sebastiano di Monforte.
デルトーナ・コッリ・トルトネージ
Derthona Colli Tortonesi
WhiteTimorasso
Cascina Penna-Currado's expression of Timorasso from the Colli Tortonesi (Derthona) zone, grown on fossil-rich marls of Sant'Agata that lend a distinctive salty-mineral core. Made with brief skin contact during crushing, spontaneous fermentation, and submerged-cap maceration for added texture, then aged in stainless steel to preserve clarity. The wine shows yellow fruit, white acacia and camomile flowers with subtle tropical hints, a creamy, layered palate of apricot and white flowers, and a fresh, savory, high-acid finish with persistent length.
ランゲ・ネッビオーロ ブリッコ・ラーゴ
Langhe Nebbiolo Bricco Lago
RedNebbiolo
Sourced from Nebbiolo vines in the Bricco Lago cru of Monforte d'Alba, where the vines cascade down from the chapel of San Sebastiano toward the only natural lake in the Langhe, on clay-and-limestone soils rich in biodiversity. Vinified with a partial whole-berry component and raised in cask, it shows bright ruby colour, wild strawberry, spice and sweet flowers, evolving toward rose and violet, with a chalky texture, fine tannins and a persistent, wide drinking window.
ネッビオーロ・ダルバ・スペリオーレ サン・セバスティアーノ
Nebbiolo d'Alba Superiore San Sebastiano
RedNebbiolo
A single-vineyard Nebbiolo from the San Sebastiano site in Monforte d'Alba, from vines between 15 and 65 years old wrapped around a small chapel dedicated to Saint Sebastian, with south, east and west exposures and cooling altitude breezes that allow slow, even ripening. Vinified with five days of cold soak, 15 days of primary fermentation and 24 days of post-fermentation submerged-cap maceration, followed by spontaneous malolactic fermentation. The wine shows raspberry, cherry and wild strawberry aromas evolving toward rose and violet, dark varietal fruit, graphite, lavender and sage, with bright acidity and fine veins of tannin.
ヴェルドゥーノ・ペラヴェルガ
Verduno Pelaverga
RedPelaverga Piccolo
A rare varietal wine from 15-year-old Pelaverga Piccolo vines along the ridge connecting La Morra and Verduno, in the heart of the tiny Verduno Pelaverga DOC. Calcareous soils and elevated exposures contribute freshness and aromatic precision. Fermented spontaneously in stainless steel with minimal intervention and no post-fermentation maceration, then aged entirely in tank to emphasize the variety's pure, idiosyncratic character. The wine shows crushed strawberries, rose petals and cracked white pepper, with a bright, light-bodied palate.
