Tasting Notes: The La Ca' Nova Langhe Nebbiolo could easily pass for a Barbaresco, if only it was aged a little longer by the estate. This racy, rich wine has the depth and power expected from this stellar, still under the radar estate, with a mineral core that lifts the red berry fruit and melds seemlessly with an explosion of earthy, tobacco-laced, mint influenced charm. What a wine!
Estate History: In the region of Piedmont, nestled on the ridge of a hill in the town of Barbaresco is the ancient home and vineyards of La Ca'Nova which cover an area of 12 hectares. For Barbaresco production, 10 hectares. Only 25,000 bottles are produced each year.
Here three brothers, Pietro, Giulio, and Franco Rocca, give meaning to the fruit of their labors by producing some of the most beautiful Barbaresco available in the world today.
The vines are cultivated with competence and love by people who feel close to the land; a time honored tradition dating back through generations. They are particularly selective in their methods of cultivation and do not expose their grapes to any chemical treatment.
Their cellar, while equipped with the most modern of wine producing techniques, is nevertheless built deep under the ground far from any noise or motion, where the temperature is stable. Barbaresco must age a minimum of two years, one of which must be spent in oak barrels. The wine must then settle to develop its finishing touches in the bottle, so the bottles then spend long, quiet months, or even years, in the farthest corners of the wine cellar.
La Ca Nova produces three bottlings from the estate: a Barbaresco Estate Bottled wine, a "Montestefano" Cru and a "Bric Mentina" Cru. Other wines produced are Barbera and Dolcetto.
