Released one year later than the other Barbarescos in this portfolio, the Sottimano 2019 Barbaresco Currá brings the intensity up a notch and not just in terms of dark fruit and cassis. The wine's mineral profile is more pronounced and, in careful moderation, so is the oak toast and spice delivery. There are more distinct elements here, all played forward with great intensity, that ultimately reach a place of excellent balance and endurance. 

Well-proportioned, this red shows balance between the elegant profile, firm structure and flavors of cherry, plum, menthol and iron. Reveals a core of ripe fruit that's locked in for now, dallying on the long finish.

Subtle notes of red cherries with ground spices, dried citrus peel and crushed stones. Medium-bodied with velvety texture. Lively and juicy on the palate with compact tannins that are firm but ripe and well integrated into wine. Hints of sour cherry and citrus at the end.
