“La Ca Nova remains one of the true undiscovered jewels of Barbaresco. Marco Rocca crafts intense, classically proportioned Barbarescos full of personality.” Antonio Galloni

Marco’s vineyards are located in the commune of Barbaresco and include the prestigious crus of Monetefico and Montestefano, two of the best sites that are often referred to as being ‘baroloesque’ owing to their backbone and ageing capability. Located on the Eastern side of the commune and separated by a few hundred metres, Montestefano is a few hundred metres south of Montefico and was the first to be bottled as a single vineyard wine, by the legendary Beppe Colla (of Poderi Colla) in 1961.

Cherry, almond and liquorice, spice and dried herb. Quiet succulence, ripe red fruits, stony and earthy feel, vineyard rolls and rumbles like thunder in the distance, black tea and mint, and a very long cool finish. Wonderful expression and personality. So very good. Tasted: Sept 20; Alcohol: 14.5%; Price: $112; Closure: Cork; Drink: 2024-2035+; Rated: 96 Points; Gary Walsh; The Wine Front
