Sottimano Curra, Barbaresco DOCG, Italy 2016 Vina Gonzalez Bastias This was phenomenal from barrelShowing darker and slightly more saturated fruit, the Sottimano 2016 Barbaresco Curr is a more robust and amply endowed wine compared to the other single vineyard expressions in this portfolio. Drawing its fruit from the village of Neive, the Curr offers ripe berry and redcurrant with softer tones of spice and tilled earth.
