Cascina Penna-Currado Derthona Colli Tortonesi Timorasso, Veneto, Italy 2023

Cascina Penna-Currado is located near Serralunga d’Alba and has 360° views of the towns in the Langa area. Built in 1554, it is part of the area’s agricultural history. It has been mentioned in various publications as a “historic farmhouse”, first under the name “Santa Giulia” and then the name “Cascina Lazzarito”. Originally owned by the Falletti family, it was subsequently run by a charitable organization as a winery for the estates of Serralunga d’Alba. Following restoration work, we have breathed new life into it. 

Elena has always been fascinated by the Colli Tortonesi (Tortona Hills) area and the potential and versatility of Timorasso grapes. She has invested a great deal in promoting Timorasso in recent years, so this simply had to be one of the core wines in our new initiative.
On the nose, there are notes of yellow fruit and white acacia and camomile flowers, as well as subtle tropical hints. Submerged-cap maceration adds complexity and structure on the palate, while preserving the wine’s distinctive acidity, minerality, crispness and aromatic complexity. Timorasso is a white wine meant for a long period of ageing, so it should be opened in advance and served in a decanter at a temperature no lower than 16°C in order to bring out its complexity.
