In the following years, it was successively extended by the Curr\u00e1, Fausoni, Basarin and Pajor\u00e9 crus. Today the winery is run by son Andrea and his sisters Elena and Claudia. Situated in the triangle of Barbaresco, Neive, and Treiso, Sottimano has been working according to biodynamic guidelines for years in order to bottle the character of the five crus as precisely as possible.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Curr\u00e1 is located in and covers 2.8 hectares with south-southwest exposure. The vines are between 55 and 75 years old d stand on pure limestone, the average yield is 40hl\/ha. The wines of the Cru Curr\u00e1 always produce tannin accentuated red wines combined with the charming elegance of Neive.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>The fermentation is always spontaneous with their own yeasts, the maceration is usually 25 days and the BSA is also spontaneous in French oak. The wines mature for 24 months in the barrel, 12 months of which on the yeast. The use of wood in winemaking has been modernized with the 2014 vintage, making the wines appear more approachable with immense vibration and depth even in their youth. The wines are bottled unfined and unfiltered.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h4>Colour <\/h4>\n<div>\n<p>Strong ruby red with a transparent core.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h4>Nose <\/h4>\n<div>\n<p>Fragrant salvos of fruit and flowers outline the nose of the 2016 Curr\u00e1 from Azienda Agricola Sottimano. Black cherries and sour cherries as well as floral notes in the overtone range announce a fruit-filled sip, spicily grounded by aromas of black pepper, light tobacco and laurel. The bacchic hedonism is coolly balanced by the profound limestone minerality of the site.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h4>Mouth <\/h4>\n<div>\n<p>The 2016 Curr\u00e1 from Azienda Agricola Sottimano is a typical Barbaresco, with fleshy bite it combines its tightly laced tannin corset with deep dark fruit and spicy back-up. Cherries and blackberries are flanked by licorice, black pepper and dark tobacco, all compactly laced by youthful tannin. A hypergastronomic wine that finds immediate appeal with its immediate presence and juicy extract.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"food_suggestion\">\n<h3>Food recommendations from Sebastian Bordth\u00e4user<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Parmiggiana   <\/li>\n<li>Eel in red wine sauce with dried plums   <\/li>\n<li>Sweet wood lacquered veal shank, mashed potatoes and braised savoy cabbage with mushrooms   <\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<ul class='wine-character-bullets'>\n<li>\ud83c\udf47 <strong>Color:<\/strong> Strong ruby red with a transparent core.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83c\udf3a <strong>Aroma:<\/strong> Fragrant salvos of black cherries and sour cherries, floral notes, black pepper, light tobacco and laurel.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83c\udf77 <strong>Taste:<\/strong> Fleshy and tannic, dark fruit of cherries and blackberries, flanked by liquorice, black pepper and dark tobacco.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83c\udfad <strong>Character:<\/strong> Vibration and depth with coolly balanced chalky minerality, youthful and powerful.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83c\udf7d\ufe0f <strong>Food recommendation:<\/strong> Parmiggiana, eel in red wine sauce, veal shank with liquorice, mashed potatoes and braised savoy cabbage.<\/li>\n<li>\u2728 <strong>Special features:<\/strong> Biodynamic cultivation, spontaneously fermented, bottled unfined and unfiltered.<\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"featured_media":214969,"template":"","meta":{"bwfblock_default_font":"","neve_meta_sidebar":"","neve_meta_container":"","neve_meta_enable_content_width":"","neve_meta_content_width":0,"neve_meta_title_alignment":"","neve_meta_author_avatar":"","neve_post_elements_order":"","neve_meta_disable_header":"","neve_meta_disable_footer":"","neve_meta_disable_title":"","neve_meta_reading_time":"","_themeisle_gutenberg_block_has_review":false},"product_brand":[1568],"product_cat":[3563,3089],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-47988","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_brand-sottimano","7":"product_cat-luxusweine","8":"product_cat-sottimano","9":"pa_farbe-rot","10":"pa_inhalt-750ml","11":"pa_jahrgang-2406","12":"pa_restsuesse-trocken","13":"pa_sorte-nebbiolo","14":"pa_typ-wein","15":"show-hover","17":"first","18":"outofstock","19":"taxable","20":"shipping-taxable","21":"purchasable","22":"product-type-simple"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Sottimano Curr\u00e1 Barbaresco DOCG 2016 | Nebbiolo Piemont<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Curr\u00e1 2016 - Ein eleganter Barbaresco aus dem Piemont mit straff geschn\u00fcrtem Tannin-Korsett, tiefgr\u00fcndiger Frucht und w\u00fcrzigen Noten.
