La Ca’ Nova – Barbera d’Alba – 2022
Regarding Barbera the concept adopted by the winery remains unchanged i.e. a wine not too demanding but very expressive in its sensations reflecting the place of origin. Compared to Nebbiolo, the vineyards are located exposed on the opposite slope, a little cooler but excellent to ensure good acidity, plants with an average age of 20-30 years in well ripe bunches are chosen. Vinification takes place in steel tanks on the skins for a few weeks with subsequent aging in large barrels for 6-8 months before bottling. It knows how to win you over with its tasty harmony, hints of fruit and light spice notes with satisfying roundness and an inviting smoothness in drinking.

Description
Small and rural, few labels produced, however, what makes Ca’ Nova special is not only the vineyard landscapes in which it is nestled but the great work in producing one of Piedmont’s two most important DOCGs: Barbaresco. A family-run winery located in the town of Barbaresco, founded between 1920/30 and always producing wine, they have reached the 3rd generation of winemakers where the current owners, the Rocca brothers, are expanding its boundaries. In a total of 14 hectares with an annual production of 50000 bottles they grow Barbera, Dolcetto and Nebbiolo where for the latter the vineyards are distributed in the Cru of Montefico and Montestefano destined for the production of their 3 Barbareschi. A lot of work is practiced in the vineyard so as to help the plant for higher quality through natural practices, in the winery fermentations are not controlled and they practice splinting i.e. maceration with post-fermentation pumping over so as to have even more extraction, large barrels are used for aging. Traditionalists in manner and style, one of the innumerable values on which the winery rests.
