Whole berry fermentation (not whole cluster, as they wish to avoid excessive power), is followed by 8 to 12 months of barrel aging, which it wears very well and which puts this Nebbiolo in another realm compared to other wines in its category. A totally classically structured Monforte wine, it offers up bright red-toned fruit – raspberries, framboise – white flowers, and wild fresh herbs.  Zesty and fresh, it has great ripe fruit and a chalky texture with a more linear feel and a clean finish. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Grand Cru Selections","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41058128461904,"sku":null,"price":56.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1016\/7695\/files\/CurradoNebbiolo.jpg?v=1737501588"},{"product_id":"cascina-penna-currado-derthona-timorasso-2024","title":"Cascina Penna Currado Derthona Timorasso 2024","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"nocopy\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eElena has always been fascinated by the Colli Tortonesi area and the potential and versatility of the Timorasso grape, and her passion led them to lease a vineyard in the south-eastern spur of the province of Alessandria.  Here, soils are ripe with Sant’Agata fossil marls containing twenty million year-old compacted calcareous clay, responsible for the beloved savoriness and salty minerality that Timorasso manifests in these parts.  The proud, sole white wine of the Penna-Currado project, this is a made using a brief maceration of the skins during crushing and submerged cap fermentation, followed by ageing in clay Clayver anfora; as such, the wine takes on a richness and complexity but without oxidation. Their 2024 is gorgeous: creamy, ample and beautifully layered in the glass, it offers up hints of apricot, chamomile and white flowers, with light tropical accents that develop over time.

Fruit from parcels planted in 1965 and 2000 brings both depth and lift, while a portion of whole cluster fermentation followed by aging in botti preserves concentration without excess. Deep ruby in the glass, it opens with dark cherry, forest floor, and a pronounced balsamic edge that carries through to the palate. Ripe dark fruit is layered but held in check by freshness and structure, giving the wine shape without weight. Fine-grained tannins add tension, especially notable in the 2024 vintage, leading into a compact and persistent finish that remains precise and free of any sense of overripeness.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Grand Cru Selections","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42101946384464,"sku":null,"price":66.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1016\/7695\/files\/PennaCurradoBarbera.png?v=1773185851"},{"product_id":"cascina-penna-currado-dolcetto-dalba-bricco-lago-2024","title":"Cascina Penna Currado Dolcetto d'Alba Bricco Lago 2024","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"nocopy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eFrom the Bricco Lago vineyards in Monforte, set in a pocket of remarkable biodiversity, this Dolcetto captures Elena and Luca’s vision of the grape as a vibrant gateway to the Langhe. Whole cluster fermentation and élevage in stainless steel keep things lifted and pure. The nose is immediate and expressive, with wild berries, cherry, and a pop of fresh herbs, accented by hints of lavender and spice; the palate is supple yet energetic, with crunchy black raspberry, a touch of graphite, and a clean mineral drive that gives the wine real shape. Tannins are fine-grained and more restrained here, adding gentle structure without weight, and the finish is fresh, lightly saline, and quietly persistent, with a subtle peppery edge. There’s a lively, almost Beaujolais-like charm to the fruit, but always with a distinctly Piedmontese backbone. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Grand Cru Selections","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42101947793488,"sku":null,"price":46.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1016\/7695\/files\/CurradoDolcetto.jpg?v=1737502467"},{"product_id":"cascina-penna-currado-san-sebastiano-nebbiolo-dalba-2023","title":"Cascina Penna Currado San Sebastiano Nebbiolo d'Alba Superiore 2023","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eNebbiolo d’Alba, as a style, is too often an afterthought for Piemontese producers — made from young vines, served by-the-glass, and quickly set aside so that the serious work of drinking Barolo can begin. Penna-Currado’s San Sebastiano 2023 is the opposite. From the San Sebastiano site in Monforte d’Alba, with vines ranging from 15 to over 60 years old across multiple exposures, it is farmed and vinified with the seriousness of Barolo, beginning with a cold soak, followed by a long, traditional fermentation and extended submerged-cap maceration. Aging takes place in cask for 12 months, intentionally shorter than Barolo requirements, allowing the wine to show earlier without sacrificing depth. The nose is lifted and precise, with raspberry, cherry, and wild strawberry unfolding into rose and violet; the palate is polished and vibrant, with red berries and a touch of citrus energy carried by bright acidity, while tannins are silky and enveloping, giving structure without austerity. This perfectly captures the pedigree and complexity of Nebbiolo, with an immediacy and grace that makes it compelling from the outset.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Grand Cru Selections","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42124609323088,"sku":null,"price":72.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1016\/7695\/files\/PennaCurradoSanSebastianoNebbiolo_affedc3e-482a-4b8f-888e-b88e59b73e06.png?v=1773185904"}],"url":"https:\/\/biondivino.com\/collections\/penna-currado\/grillo.oembed","provider":"Biondivino","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
