Whoa, this is a wine with great potential, but the 2014
Barbaresco Currá needs at least another two years to
just chill out. It’s way too tightly wound at the moment.
This vineyard is right next door to Cottà, but the Currà
(the accents here reflect the real spelling of these MGA
crus) is a whole different animal altogether. The soil
that lies underground accounts for the difference. This
Barbaresco is closed and hard if released too early,
and this vintage definitely needs more time to show
that elegance, which is bound to be remarkable when
it does. The fabric of the mouthfeel is different, to say
the least, but there is much more complexity as well.
The 2014 Barbaresco Currà is the most tannic and linear of these wines. Orange peel, mint, white pepper, sweet red cherry and cranberry are all beautifully delineated in the glass. Vibrant, poised and energetic, the 2014 possesses tons of elegance and pure class. I loved it. The Currà is often slow out of the gate, but it is impressive, even in the early going.
