Bruno Rocca : Barbaresco Currà Riserva 2021

Laced with cherry, strawberry, rose and mineral flavors, this elegant red is well-defined and expressive, with a firm backbone. There’s viscosity midpalate, and the finish echoes the red fruit, floral and salty mineral elements. Shows superb harmony and precision. Best from 2029 through 2047. 160 cases made.

A classic and complex Barbaresco with potpourri, stones, minerals, wild strawberries and vibrant blood oranges on the nose. Full-bodied, it shows velvety tannins, crisp acidity and a refined finish. A very good wine with power and grace. Drink or hold.

Neive. Just mid ruby. Concentrated, aromatic raspberry nose with savoury notes. Supple, almost rich raspberry fruit filled out by powdery tannins. Long and satisfying. (WS)
