Description

Cascina Penna-Currado Barbera D'Alba Superiore CarràSourced from two south westfacing vineyards in San Sebastiano, Monforte dAlba, where vines aged 25 to 70 years deliver low yields and late ripening fruit thanks to altitude and direct Alpine exposure. The result is perfectly ripened grapes that avoid both drying and over ripening, offering concentration while retaining the classic fragrance of Barbera. Tasted as a barrel sample, I Iove the aromatics of the 2023 Barbera DAlba Carra, which has more lift

with medium-bodied structure

with plenty of black plum

A curious and challenging young wine

and famously finishes with a whisper of orange blossom

and it firms beautifully as it mounts its final attack

Pioneers of organic farming (and now certified as such)

Immediately after opening

The Camporsino comes from a local dialect for one of the properties on their Estate and is made in a more modern style

volcanic dustiness that is the calling card of La Source

Inviting to the senses

It’s certainly youthful and pretty with heady aromas of florals and autumn leaves with flavours of wild strawberries

In pursuit of the finest possible whiskey
