Bruno Rocca : Barbaresco Currà 2022

The 2022 Barbaresco Currà is all class. Crushed flowers, orange peel, white pepper and chalk capture the essence of Currà. There is a feeling of translucence and weightless power that I especially admire. Deceptive in its mid-weight structure, the Currà is superb. Its dynamic energy is compelling. Hints of sage and menthol linger on the close.

A restrained wine full of elegant aromas of licorice, red currants and sweet violets, as well as a whiff of blood oranges. Medium-bodied, transparent and precise, showing firm, dusty tannins, tension and fresh acidity. The finish is tight and austere yet sweet. Drinkable now but best from 2027.
