Currà is for Bruno Rocca a Barbaresco of delicacy and elegance. The nose is focused on sweet spice and sophisticated Parma violet. The fruit is restrained and multifaceted: strawberry, pomegranate and cherry with a balsamic and earthy depth. Such great silky tannins on the palate, super-refined and sustained by fruit concentration where pomegranate dominates, and a chewy, long, even austere acidity on the finish. It shows great potential while being remarkably sleek.

From a site with limestone and sandstone, the 2019 Barbaresco Currà shows a lean and elegant appearance, and the wine offers a solid set of aromas with balanced intensity. The Rocca family makes some of the best wines in the appellation, and their Currà is extremely graceful and balanced in this vintage. A dusty mineral note of crushed limestone opens the bouquet, and you get wild cherry, cassis and crushed rose in a second wave. - Monica Larner

This graceful red is expressive, revealing perfumed aromas of rose, wild strawberry and cherry, augmented by flavors of berry fruit, mineral, Scotch broom and menthol. This is balanced, if on the firm side today, with a long, expansive finish. Best from 2026 through 2045. — B.S.

The 2019 Barbaresco Curra is sensual, layered and so inviting. Dark red cherry, plum, lavender, rose petal and spice abound. Curra usually yields wines that are a bit tense, but the 2019 possesses tremendous fruit density and richness. All the elements are so nicely balanced. Creamy and nearly silky in feel, the 2019 will drink well pretty much right out of the gate. It's a gorgeous wine in every way. - By Antonio Galloni on September 2022
