Sourced from 15-year-old vines in Verduno, the historic heart of the tiny Verduno Pelaverga DOC, Pelà captures the distinctive character of this rare indigenous variety. The vineyards sit along the ridge connecting La Morra and Verduno, where calcareous soils and elevated exposures contribute freshness and aromatic precision. Fermented spontaneously in stainless steel with minimal intervention and aged entirely in tank, the wine emphasizes the purity, transparency, and vibrant expression of the variety.
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.
