This Timorasso showcases Elena's belief in the historically undermined variety that sparked the global Derthona boom. The sole white wine of the CPC project sees a brief skin maceration and submerged cap fermentation (an unusual practice for Timorasso that Elena became keen on after visiting with a grower in Liguria), which lend depth and texture without oxidation, while aging in stainless steel, Clayver amphora, and (from 2024) a touch of acacia wood enhances its mineral, saline character. Complex yet precise, with increasing proportions of skin fermentation (30% in 2023; 40–45% in 2024). From 2.5 hectares of estate vines.

Cascina Penna-Currado is the new personal venture of the Penna-Currado Vietti family, spearheaded by Elena Penna, Luca Currado Vietti and their kids, Michele and Giulia. Custodians of a cultural and sentimental legacy in the noble lands of the Langhe, Luca and Elena spent over 35 years at the helm of one of Piedmont’s most lauded wineries, Vietti, until both decided to part ways in January of 2023. Their new venture is of entirely different scale, artisanal, and they look forward to building it as a family endeavor with their marvelous mix of wit, wisdom and refreshed ambition grounded by their sound roots and experience in the Langhe.
