La Ca’ Nova – Barbaresco DOCG – 2021

Their entry Barbaresco, although in the basic version the characteristics of this wine namely a rich bouquet and a pleasant taste are clearly discernible. Made with 100% Nebbiolo from different plots such as Montefico, Montestefano and Ovello where the vines are young but can be brought out in terms of aromas. The grapes are vinified in steel tanks, after which it is aged in large barrels for 15 months followed by another 18 months in the bottle. A fun bottle to drink young, invasive fruit notes that blend with a juicy, fresh and not at all demanding drink where the tannins are very delicate.

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, established 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.
