What bottle of wine did you open today? (Part 2)


La Ca’Növa Barbaresco Montestefano 2021
I’m pretty sure it was listed and priced as the Nornale because I went searching for notes on it on WB and found this great note:

So to @Brian_S_t_o_t_t_e_r’s question, this single vineyard is very fine as well. Albeit a little too tannic for early consumption and especially in a restaurant setting, it shows plenty of fruit (including some red berries in there), well behaved acidity and a strong mineral backbone leading to a cool herbal finish. The oak is not intrusive even this early in its life and I think proper aeration and time in a home setting would have been enough to tame down some of those tanins. Good bottle, hold or give it plenty of air.
