La Ca' Nova
"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..."

"For us, 2020 was a drier and warmer year than 2021. Consequently, we had lower yields,” Marco Rocca explained." Harvest started during the first week of October, whereas in 2021 we started a week later." In 2021, the crus saw 35 days on the skins, with submerged cap maceration. The 2020s saw shorter time on the skins, 12-15 days for the straight Barbaresco and 28-30 for the crus, which were also bottled with a bit less time in cask. In tasting, the 2020s have closed down a ton, which is probably a positive for the long term. These remain some of the most exciting wines in Barbaresco. Fans of classically built wines who have not tasted La Ca’ Nova yet owe it to themselves to do so."

2021 Langhe Nebbiolo DOC
Usually $57 - Special Offer $52
"The 2021 Langhe Nebbiolo is another stellar entry-level wine from La Ca' Nova. Bright acids and clean mineral notes frame a serious Nebbiolo. All of this is young vines fruit from Barbaresco designated parcels in Ovello, and that comes through in the wine's linear build and overall energy. Crushed flowers, red berry fruit, blood orange and white pepper lead into the sculpted finish."

2021 Barbaresco DOCG
Usually $89 - Special Offer $84
"The 2021 Barbaresco is exquisite. Bright and delineated, with tons of energy, the 2021 bristles with saline-infused energy. Red berry fruit, blood orange, chalk, mint and white pepper lend tons of energy to this deceptively mid-weight, nervy young Barbaresco. Vineyard sites are Ovello, Cole and Loreto."

2021 Barbaresco 'Montefico Vigna Bric Mentina' DOCG
Usually $129 - Special Offer $119
"The 2021 Barbaresco Montefico Vigna Bric Mentina is a classic. Crushed flowers, salt, white pepper, rose petal and lavender race across the palate. Just bottled, the 2021 is quite nervous, but it conveys striking energy and translucent finesse. The aromatics alone are beguiling. All this needs is time. In other words, it is classic Montefico."

2021 Barbaresco 'Montestefano' DOCG
Usually $129 - Special Offer $119
"The 2021 Barbaresco Montestefano is one of the very best young wines I have tasted here. Dark, rich and intense, but also light on its feet, the 2021 dazzles from the very first taste. Dark red/blue fruit, lavender, licorice, gravel, dried herbs and menthol open with a bit of coaxing. The Montestefano possesses striking mid-palate depth, compelling inner perfume and mind-blowing balance. I loved it."
