{"product_id":"2021-bruno-rocca-barbaresco-curra-750ml","title":"2021 Bruno Rocca Barbaresco Currà (750ml)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe wines of Bruno Rocca have undergone a significant evolution, shifting from a highly modern, oak-forward style in the 1990s and 2000s to a more traditional, energetic, and terroir-driven style today. This stylistic transition is largely driven by a passing of the torch from Bruno to his children, Francesco and Luisa Rocca, who now lead the winery.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe new generation has heavily dialed back the wood - introduced larger French oak casks (tonneaux and large barrels) and use far less new oak. Francesco Rocca has also shifted toward longer, slower fermentations using natural yeasts, employing very gentle pump-overs and entirely avoiding aggressive punch-downs. This minimal-intervention approach allows the wine to gently infuse, capturing precision rather than raw power.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe estate has also achieved certified organic status. They manage the land sustainably by planting cover crops like oats and wheat to fix nitrogen, utilizing insect-attracting pheromone bracelets, and completely banning synthetic pesticides and fertilizers. They have also expanded into highly specific cool-climate crus like Currà and Marcorino.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe signature of a modern Bruno Rocca wine is an austere, vibrant, energetic, and highly saline quality. The dark fruits and heavy toast have given way to bright red berries, wild herbs, graphite, and pure floral expressions of Nebbiolo that highlight the nuanced variations of their specific terroirs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"The 2021 Barbaresco Currà from Bruno Rocca is absolutely stunning, starting with its intense aromas of violet, rose, eucalyptus and whiffs of underbrush and truffle. Full-bodied and showing great energy and class, the palate delivers raspberry, strawberry compote, licorice and blood orange before closing on mint and bitter almond. It's beautifully balanced, with taut, refined tannins and bright acidity. Drink 2029–2041.\" 98 - Kerin O'Keefe (08\/2026)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"An earthy undertone lifts the strawberry, cherry and floral flavors in this red. Marvelous harmony and structure prolong the finish, where mineral and savory elements linger. Finesse, purity and power converge in the best sense. Best from 2029 through 2049.\" 97 - Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator (03\/2025)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Wine Club","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48411375862018,"sku":null,"price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/1419\/7817\/files\/BrunoRoccaBarbarescoCurra2021.webp?v=1787936654","url":"https:\/\/thewineclub.com\/products\/2021-bruno-rocca-barbaresco-curra-750ml","provider":"The Wine Club","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
