Barbera d'Alba 2023

The 2023 Barbera d'Alba from La Ca Nova winery is produced with Barbera grapes harvested in the municipality of Barbaresco.

A Barbera with fruit and structure, perfectly balanced in its use of barrels during aging; it is juicy, with just the right acidic kick to drink liters of it!

The Winery: La Ca' Nova

La Ca' Nova is a small family-run farm founded in a 19th-century farmhouse in the center of the village of Barbaresco. The Rocca family began labeling wines in the 1970s. The vineyards cover an area of about 14 hectares, including parcels in the Barbaresco crus of Montestefano and Montefico (the latter more precisely within the Bric Mentina vineyard). The former is south-facing and produces slightly more powerful and deep wines than those from the southeast-facing vineyards of Montefico, which yield more elegant wines. Winemaking proceeds without temperature control during fermentation, after which the racking technique is used, keeping the skins submerged for 15-20 days after alcoholic fermentation for greater extraction. The wines are then aged for at least 18 months in 3000-liter barrels.
