La Ca' Növa "Bric Mentina" Barbaresco 2018
We are blown away with the quality of the wines from La Ca' Nova. Their estate vineyards in Montestefano and Montefico are handled with extreme care in a very hands-off style, and are a pure joy to any Piedmont purist. We love this Montefico cru bottling for its elegance and earthiness: these east-facing vines on the other side of Montestefano are shielded from the hot afternoon soon, which translates into a more balanced, nuanced wine.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Enthusiast - 96 points
Forest floor, cedar, new leather and camphor aromas take shape in the glass on this compelling, earthy red. Showing a Barolo-like structure, the full-bodied, savory palate has an alluring wildness and energy to it, delivering dried cherry, blood orange, black olive and licorice framed against a backbone of tightly knit tannins. Bright acidity keeps it balanced. It's still youthfully austere and needs a few more years to fully develop. Drink 2026–2038.
