The 2021 Barbaresco Montestefano is one of the very best young wines I have tasted here. Dark, rich and intense, but also light on its feet, the 2021 dazzles from the very first taste. Dark red/blue fruit, lavender, licorice, gravel, dried herbs and menthol open with a bit of coaxing. The Montestefano possesses striking mid-palate depth, compelling inner perfume and mind-blowing balance. I loved it. (AG)

The 2021 La Ca' Növa "Montestefano" Barbaresco is a masterful expression of one of the region's most famous single vineyards. Montesefano is often described as Barbaresco's answer to Barolo, offering structure, depth and power, and this bottling captures the essence of the wine with remarkable precision. Traditionalist at heart, La Ca' Nova delivers wines that once again honor the vineyard's heritage while showcasing the beauty of the 2021 vintage. The Barbaresco aroma is filled with the aromas of ripe red cherries. blackberry and dried rose petals, tobacco and a hint of smoke. The palate is full and well-balanced. With fine tannins and lively acidity that provide structure and lift. Layers of dark fruit Earth tone spices and the subtleties of minerality are revealed with each sip. Leads to long-lasting and powerful results which indicates the potential for wine aging. La Ca' Nova's traditional winemaking methods—fermentation in stainless steel followed by aging in large Slavonian oak barrels—allow Montesefano's unique terroir to shine. The vineyard's southern location and rich soil give the wine a bold, bold character. For serious Barbaresco lovers, the 2021 "Montestefano" is a must-try. It's the structure and complexity that makes this team stand out. It is a wine that captures the power and elegance of Nebbiolo at its best. The unique beauty of La Ca' Nova shines through.
