The vines average around thirty years of age and grow on calcareous limestone soils with sandy veins, giving the wine its high-toned aromatics, chalky tension and remarkable precision.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE WINE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003eMontefico is Ca’ Nova’s more mineral and aromatic Barbaresco. The 2022 shows bright red cherry and raspberry fruit, then expands into sage, mint, chalk, white pepper, orange peel and a subtle floral lift. The palate is focused and vertical, with firm but refined tannins, excellent freshness and a long saline finish. Despite being from a warmer year, it retains impressive balance and elegance—a Barbaresco that feels cool, precise and quietly cerebral.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:align-top\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFOOD PAIRING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePorcini, braised rabbit or mature Castelmagno.
