Currà is Cantina del Glicine's flagship single-vineyard Barbaresco, sourced from roughly 1.5 hectares of pale, southwest-facing terraced soil in Neive that Roberto Bruno planted himself. One of the smallest and most prized crus in the Neive commune, it is vinified with long skin maceration and aged for years in large Slavonian oak botti, producing a wine of remarkable concentration, structure, and aging potential. The 2010 vintage earned Gambero Rosso's Tre Bicchieri (Three Glasses) award.
The most concentrated, terroir-driven wine in the Glicine range — a Tre Bicchieri-winning benchmark for old-school Neive Barbaresco.

- What makes Currà different from Glicine's other Barbarescos?
- Currà is a single-vineyard (cru) Barbaresco from a small, southwest-facing plot planted by Roberto Bruno himself, giving it more concentration and aging potential than the estate's blended bottlings.
- What does Barbaresco Currà taste like?
- Expect dried roses, red cherry, and earthy spice notes, with firm tannins and bright acidity that support long cellaring.
- When should I drink Barbaresco Currà?
- It benefits from 8-10+ years of aging from the vintage to let the tannins soften and the aromatics fully develop.
