The 2020 Barbaresco Montefico Vigna Bric Mentina is an enchanting wine that gracefully embodies the allure of its exceptional terroir, showcasing elegance even in a year that may lack the explosive tension of the very finest vintages; however, this nuance is likely to be inconsequential for the majority of consumers. A captivating blend of macerated cherry, delicate rose petal, earthy dried leaves, and enticing spice evolves into a lively, palate-awakening finish. Despite a touch of slenderness in the 2020 expression, the Montefico compensates with a vibrant energy that ensures a memorable tasting experience.

Antonio Galloni, smitten with La Ca Nova, ardently praises these wines, urging all Nebbiolo enthusiasts to pay attention, considering his extensive expertise and longstanding reporting in Piemonte. Crafting exceptional, terroir-driven Barbarescos from the esteemed Montestefano and Montefico crus for generations, La Ca Nova achieves remarkable finesse without relying on modern technology. The true essence of Nebbiolo shines through, as healthy grapes, meticulously tended in the vineyards to attain optimal ripeness, lay the foundation for these polished and captivating expressions.
