Barbaresco “Currá" DOCG 2015 · MAGNUM in OWC

Az. Agr. Sottimano | Piedmont
Az. Agr. Sottimano s.s.a. | Loc. Cottà 21 | IT 12052 Neive

Currá is an archaic long-distance runner and presents itself very aristocratic at a young age as it matures in the bottle or is well ventilated. Then he reveals dark berries and a fine chocolate note on the nose. In its style it is angular at the beginning, but does not deny its size and harmony at any point. Tobacco, plums, smoke and tobacco: with each glass, this exceptional wine reveals new facets and a firework of impressions. Thus Nebbiolo goes from 65 year old vines at the highest level! SUPERIORE.DE

"Tasted blind. Mid ruby with orange tinges. Quite a pretty nose of cherry fruit and raspberry jam with a hint of oak and liquorice. Generous fruit that still is not entirely open on the palate with a fine nerve of ripe acidity. Ripe, chewy tannins frame the fruit on the long finish." Jancis Robinson

"Fragrant and focused, this offers tantalizing aromas of rose, violet, woodland berry and Asian incense. Firm and linear, the chiseled palate evokes red cherry, cranberry, star anise and a hint of white pepper set against tightly wound fine-grained tannins. It's still young and austere but balanced, with vibrant acidity. Give it ample time to fully develop." Vinous

"Here's a little hop, skip and a jump back in time to a vintage with great personality and character. The Sottimano 2015 Barbaresco Currá is a majestic expression that unfolds to reveal dark fruit, spice and carefully evolved aromas of tar, licorice and spent embers. Past vintages of this wine have started off slow and closed (that's one of Currá's age-worthy attributes), but the warm and sunny 2015 vintage starts with high aromatic intensity." Robert Parker
