The 2007 Barbaresco Curra is a touch more austere and reserved than the Fausoni, but equally compelling. A wall of tannin hides a core of bright red berries, flowers, sweet herbs and licorice that will need at least several years of cellaring to fully emerge. This, too, possesses exceptional length and fabulous overall balance in a textured, captivating style for the year. With time in the glass, this positively explodes on the palate with layers of ripe fruit and structure, resulting in a fabulous wine that represents the epitome of finesse. Anticipated maturity: 2017-2027. Sottimano’s 2007 Barbareschi have been impressive every time I have tasted them, starting from barrel a few years ago, to two tastings from bottle in recent months.

Intense, displaying an initial suppleness that gives way to a chewy texture on the finish, as the tannins take over. In between, cherry, licorice and a hint of menthol hold court. Fine length. Best from 2013 through 2023. 370 cases made, 170 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barbaresco Select to Add
