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.
