The 2020 Barbaresco Montefico Vigna Bric Mentina is laced with hints of white pepper, kirsch, mint, orange peel and chalk. It offers plenty of Montefico signatures, but with an extra kick of mid-palate pliancy that adds allure as well as immediacy. Best of all, the 2020 will be ready to go in just a few years' time. The 2020 is showing so well today. It's a dynamite wine.

Nestled on a hillside ridge at the entrance to the town of Barbaresco, you’ll find the ancient home and vineyards of La Ca’Nova – spread across 12 hectares of pristine sites in Barbaresco. These three wines are the only Barbarescos made by the Rocca family – their “Normale”, a blend of their holdings in Ovello, along with the remnants of their two single Cru bottlings of “Montefico'' and “Montestefano” – combining for a miniscule total of around 1,000 cases of Barbaresco per year. These wines consistently outscore and some would argue even outperform the likes of Gaja, Giacosa, Sottimano, and La Spinetta at just a fraction of the price!
About the Producer
Pietro Rocca, a fourth generation grape grower began making and bottling Barbarescos in the 1970s. Today, Pietro is joined by his sons, Marco, an enologist, and Ivan, an agronomist who tends to the vineyards. This estate has quietly been making outstanding, terroir-driven Barbarescos for generations from two of the denomination's top crus, Montestefano and Montefico.
