Sottimano
Currá Barbaresco Nebbiolo
Barbaresco, Cuneo, Piedmont, Italy
Sottimano has made wholesale changes in their vineyard management and it comes through in the wines. I once found them undrinkable but now I buy them up. This is still a little right, so a few years of bottle age will put this in a better spot. If you must open it now, let it sit in the open bottle for a 1-2 hours. Nicely structured with ample acidity and tannin. Nice fruit forward but with plenty of that Nebbiolo red flower and underbrush.
