La Ca' Nova Barbaresco Montestefano 2016 - First Bottle

Reviews

97 Wine Enthusiast -
Forest floor, red berry, leather and pipe tobacco aromas are front and center. The intense, full-bodied palate offers impressive structure and finesse, delivering succulent Marasca cherry, cinnamon, star anise and a hint of hazelnut alongside assertive but noble tannins and vibrant acidity. It already shows focus and depth, but give it time to fully bloom. Drink 2026?2038.
96 Vinous -
The 2016 Barbaresco Montestefano is simply magnificent. Bright floral overtones and red/purplish berry fruit give the Montestefano a feeling of focus and explosive energy that is compelling. Hints of mocha, leather, smoke, lavender and a whole range of balsamic inflections open up in the glass, revealing a Barbaresco of power, structure and complexity. Ample in feel and yet wonderfully vibrant, the Montestefano is wonderfully complete. It is also one of the very best wines I have ever tasted from La Ca' Nova. The Montestefano is a bit more showy today than the Montefico, but both wines are remarkable.

Wow. We are in SHOCK at how good these wines are. Madness to even consider skipping this offer. VERY LIMITED! Barbaresco has ARRIVED, people. These wines are off-the-charts and still priced relatively low (compared to Barolo), and if there was EVER a vintage to buy, it is ‘16. "The 2016s, wines from a potentially historic vintage, may very well put Barbaresco on the map big time. As I traveled from producer to producer, I experienced that sense of excitement and energy I always feel when in the presence of important vintages and wines...The late harvest, in October, yielded Barbarescos of extraordinary aromatic intensity, depth and structure that will repay cellaring. Moreover, the wines are deeply expressive of site, which, in my view, is one of the pre-requisites for a truly great Piedmont vintage.” --- Antonio Galloni, VINOUS

La Ca’ Nova has been a savvy insider Barbaresco producer until now. They are making the best wines of their lives here, from two of the most important crus in the region (Montefico and Montestefano) and we must INSIST you get some. Outrageously excellent wines! Read the reviews below and just…HURRY!
