2024 Cascina Penna-Currado Dolcetto d'Alba “Bricco Lago” comes from Monforte d’Alba in the heart of Piedmont. Produced by Cascina Penna‑Currado, the boutique project of legendary winemaker Luca Currado (formerly of Vietti) and Elena Penna, this wine showcases the vibrant and approachable side of the Langhe.
Made from 100% Dolcetto, the grapes come from small vineyards around San Sebastiano where vines average around 40 years old. Fermentation and maturation take place in stainless steel to preserve freshness and pure fruit expression.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, Dolcetto is one of the Italian reds we often recommend for everyday drinking when you want something authentic from Piedmont but lighter than Barolo or Barbaresco. The 2024 Cascina Penna-Currado Bricco Lago is fresh, vibrant and very approachable — a perfect introduction to the wines of the Langhe.
