Bruno Rocca : Barbaresco Currà Riserva 2020

There's a sense of opulence, along with flavors of cherry, licorice, eucalyptus, hay and tar. Dense and muscular, this retains a balanced feel, with beefy tannins offset by freshness, fruit and spices on the lingering finish. Best from 2027 through 2042. 153 cases made.

Restrained, complex and dark. On the nose, it shows graphite, licorice, blood oranges, wild strawberries, dried violets and roses, alongside mint and deep, earthy minerality. Stunning, thanks to density and full body with ripe, velvety tannins and a fresh finish. Integrated, refined and focused. Drink or hold.
