2020 La Ca’ Növa Barbaresco DOCG

Rose petal, sweet red berry, mint and pine add an appealing upper register. The delineation and translucency of the flavors is striking. This is pure class.

100% organic Nebbiolo. Entirely hand-harvested from different vineyards in the DOCG area at 270-290 meters above sea level. 18-20 day fermentation in stainless steel tank with pumping over 2-4 times a day. Aged 16 months in 3000L oak casks, then aged 10 months in bottle. Full-bodied, intense fruit with black cherry notes, nice ripe tannins and good length.

91 points, Antonio Galloni's Vinous. "The 2020 Barbaresco is a relatively soft, open-knit wine. Sweet macerated cherry, kirsch, mint and orange peel open first, with effusive floral and spice notes that grace the finish. Medium in body, with relatively soft contours for a young Barbaresco, the 2020 will drink well right out of the gate."
