From our Importer: 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.

“In the firm belief that fresh energy is the driving force behind successful businesses, we have invested in the future of our family, which can count on substantial know-how and solid roots in the place it calls home. We know that the Langa area will play an increasingly central role in the future of Italian wine, especially if family and authenticity continue to be espoused as core values in artisanal approaches.”
- Luca Currado Vietti

The winery calls home a renovated cascina in Serralunga d’Alba that dates back to 1554, while the vineyards span pristine parcels of the Langhe and Derthona areas. Care for the land and the choice of vineyards is of particular importance to the Cascina Penna-Currado operation: they have opted for cooler areas, rich in biodiversity and keen to a new, longevous interpretation of the Langhe. A renowned enologist in Italy and beyond, Luca will head up the in the cellar while Elena’s mastery in hospitality and commercial operations are fundamental to the life of the wines after bottling. Both are consolidated ambassadors for the region of Piedmont, beloved by other producers in the region and global customers alike for the hard work they have chipped away at in constructing the undeniable allure of this land and its wines. The label that wraps their bottles is an original, commissioned artwork by Giuseppe Stampone, one of Elena and Luca’s favorite artists whose work is done using BIC pens. The image of children staring over the horizon lends to the idea of a new start, taking roads untraveled.
