Bruno Rocca, Barbaresco DOCG Riserva Curra 2013

"This wine represents a second incarnation of that first experimental wine. That said, Bruno Rocca has extensive experience with this vineyard cru. Currà tends to produce softer, more velvety fruit compared to Rabajà, the vineyard most famously associated with this family-run estate. Currà has flinty and chalky soils that contribute to the tannic structure of the wine and its long-term aging potential. The wines are fermented in tank and aged in large oak casks. This beautifully fresh and crisp vintage delivers a lasting sense of strength, power and territory-specific character."-Wine Advocate

"Just bottled, the 2013 Barbaresco Riserva Currà is a real stunner. Bright and crystalline, the 2013 exudes energy, with plenty of bright red stone fruit, tobacco, rose petal, mint and dried cherry overtones. Readers will find a translucent, precise and beautifully layered Barbaresco built on detail, with a classic sense of structure and exceptional overall balance. What a gorgeous wine this is."-Antonio Galloni
