Bruno Rocca 'Curra' Barbaresco DOCG, Piedmont 2023

This Barbaresco displays a vibrant garnet hue and opens with a sophisticated aromatic profile featuring crushed rose petals, wild strawberries, and hints of savory spice. The palate is defined by its crystalline precision, showcasing firm yet silky tannins and a distinct mineral core derived from the limestone-heavy soils of the Curra vineyard. High acidity balances the concentrated red fruit flavors, leading into a long, persistent finish marked by notes of tobacco and dried orange peel. It is a powerful yet ethereal expression of Nebbiolo that promises exceptional aging potential and evolves beautifully in the glass.
