La Ca' Nova

It’s always a pleasure to stop by La Ca' Nova, which remains one of the most under-the-radar estates in Barbaresco. Marco Rocca presented a stellar set of Barbarescos. The 2022 Barbarescos are a bit lighter than the 2021, but they show no hard edges. In that sense, they are quite typical for what I have seen from the vintage thus far. The wines show the forward richness of a warm, dry year but not the excess opulence or size that can accompany vintages with these characteristics. Rocca gave the 2022s a bit less time on the skins and a shorter time in oak in order to preserve as much freshness as possible. I also had a chance to revisit the 2021 Barbarescos, which are every bit as special as they were last year. Rocca gave his 2021 crus 35 days on the skins, with submerged cap maceration, followed by 18 months in cask. Barbaresco gets most of the attention here, but the entry-level wines are every bit as good.
