La Ca Nova Barbaresco Montestefano DOCG 2017
96 Points - Wine Enthusiast / 96 Points - Gary Walsh / 94 Points - Vinous
Entirely hand-harvested from the Montestefano vineyard at 270 meters above sea level. 22 day fermentation with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tank with pumping over 2-4 times a day then raised in a three thousand liter Botti, made from Austrian oak. Beautifully precise on the nose, jumping from the glass in a complex blend of red and black cherries, spit-roasted gamebird, a superb base of soil, a touch of fresh oregano, road tar, roses and a smoky topnote. On the palate the wine is deep, firm and full-bodied, with a superb core of fruit, excellent mineral drive and grip, ripe, firm and chewy tannins and a long, tangy and complex finish. This is an absolutely classic, superb young Barbaresco! 6,500 bottles produced.
Product of Piedmont, Italy.
ABV: 14.5%
SIe: 750ml
