Bruno Rocca Barbaresco Riserva Curra 2014

Bruno Rocca and his family have recently started a Riserva program that allows us to enjoy his wines six years after the harvest. The 2014 Barbaresco Riserva Currà has evolved over this time to show soft and silky tannins, with light fruit tones, spice, blue flower and grilled herbs that dance around the perimeter of the bouquet. This wine focuses on the smaller details of Nebbiolo, its streamlined texture and the fragile aromas of the grape. The wine has aged in oak for 30 months and comes out boasting beautiful clarity and integration as a result. This vintage shows an extremely fine and seamless side of the grape. Points: 94/100

Very pretty red for the vintage with ripe berries, orange peel and some white truffle and tar. Full-bodied, but there’s a linear bead of tannin and acidity running through it. Starting to drink already. Drink or hold. Points: 93/100
