Community Tasting Note

HowardNZ Likes this wine:

Saturday, September 8, 2018 - La Ca’ Nova with Marco Rocca (Barbaresco): Deeper, more intense purple colour than the Montefico. Also a dumber, more earth-bound, darker fruited nose. Aromas of black cherries, blackberries, cedar, wet granite and a touch of menthol. On palate, very structured, dense and closed. Tightly coiled and not giving much. Black cherry and dark plum with graphite, earth, cedar and iron. Huge grip and power. Good focus and precise acidity. It seemed to have all the material needed in the future to be a great Montestefano. I thought that this Cru would peak in 10+ years but Marco suggested it needs only “three or four years” in the cellar.
