La Ca Nova Barbaresco "Montefico vigna Bric Mentina" 2013

Traditional winemaking at its best. Great grapes, long ferment, gentle use of oak. "Rich, ample and explosive. A host of dark stone fruit, tobacco, licorice, smoke and leather make a strong firswt impression before the clean, bracing tannins, a Montefico signature, kick in to give the wine its shape and backbone. There is so much to like in this powerful, classically built Barbaresco." - Galloni, Vinous
