100% organic Nebbiolo. 20-year old vines. Entirely hand-harvested from a vineyard in the DOCG area, so this is basically declassified Barbaresco. 18 day fermentation in stainless steel tank with pumping over 2-4 times a day. Aged 14 months in 3000L oak casks, then aged 8 months in bottle.
Classically styled and approachable, bright cherry and rose aromatics with some forest floor, tar, truffle and taught tannic grip. This wine is handled in much the same way as the Barbaresco DOCG and offers immediate drinking pleasure.
"La Ca' Nova is, in my view, the single most under-the-radar winery in all of Piedmont. The wines just keep getting better and better, yet prices remain exceedingly modest, especially within the context of today’s market..." -Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media
