La Ca' Nova Barbaresco Montefico Vigna Bric Mentina 2022

La Ca' Nova Barbaresco Montefico Vigna Bric Mentina 2022 is a refined Barbaresco that captures the elegance and structure of Nebbiolo from one of the denomination’s most respected crus. Sourced from the Montefico vineyard site, it offers a compelling mix of finesse, tension, and classic Piedmont character, making it a standout choice for collectors and lovers of traditional Italian reds.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a pale ruby hue with garnet reflections, true to Nebbiolo’s translucent, graceful style. The nose is layered and expressive, with notes of rose petal, sour cherry, red currant, violets, licorice, and subtle earthy undertones, often joined by hints of spice and dried herbs. On the palate, it is precise and structured, with bright acidity, firm but polished tannins, and a long, savory finish. The fruit profile leans toward red berries and cherries, balanced by mineral depth and a touch of truffle-like complexity. This is a Barbaresco with excellent aging potential, gaining nuance and harmony over the next 8-15 years, and in strong vintages even longer.

Production
Montefico is one of Barbaresco’s historic vineyard areas, known for its calcareous marl soils and excellent south-facing exposure, which help Nebbiolo achieve both aromatic lift and structural depth. While detailed production information is not provided here, wines from this site are typically crafted with careful hand-harvesting and traditional vinification to preserve freshness, transparency, and the vineyard’s distinctive character.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with rich Piedmontese dishes such as braised beef, veal shank, mushroom risotto, tajarin with truffle, and roasted game. Serve at 16-18°C and consider decanting for 1-2 hours, especially when young, to allow the aromatics to open and the tannins to soften.

The winery has earned recognition for expressing the nuances of individual vineyard sites, particularly through its Nebbiolo-based wines, and is regarded as a producer that remains faithful to the classic identity of the region.
