From barrel the 2022 Barbera D?Alba Carra sports a youthful dark purple color and is fruity with ripe plum and pressed lavender as well as some iron richness and gamey notes. Medium to full-bodied it?s snappy with fresh acidity but it has a more rounded feel. With some notes of ripe wild herbs that last through the elegant finish this is a classic and ripe vintage but it retains very nice freshness. Drink it over the next several years. The latest high-profile winery to land in Barolo hails from the top of Lazzarito in Serralunga d?Alba. Elena Penna Luca Currado and their children have staked claim to their new home with this year?s inaugural releases having departed their historic family estate at Vietti last year. All of the wines for this report were tasted at the estate with Elena and Luca in March of 2024. While readers will start to see a few wines in the market this year this is merely the beginning as they have clearly been hard at work to grow steadily and confidently in the years to come with most of the wines here tasted from barrel.
