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. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"short-description\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe wine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn terms of production, there is no temperature control during fermentation. Towards the end, Marco uses a method called steccatura, which keeps the skins submerged for a post-fermentation maceration lasting up to 15-20 days, allowing for greater extraction from the fruit. The wines are then aged in 30-hectolitre Austrian oak barrels (preferred by Marco over the more common Slovenian oak) for at least 18 months. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eInformation\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 148.46875px;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 386.546875px;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 148.46875px;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 386.546875px;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2021\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 148.46875px;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 386.546875px;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eItaly\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 148.46875px;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 386.546875px;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePiedmont\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 148.46875px;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSub region:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 386.546875px;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBarbaresco\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 148.46875px;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGrape:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 386.546875px;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e100% Nebbiolo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 148.46875px;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 386.546875px;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSavory and Classic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 148.46875px;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSweetness:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 386.546875px;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDry\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 148.46875px;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 386.546875px;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e14%\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 148.46875px;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDrinking window:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 386.546875px;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2025 -

Rather than simply highlight the best score to promote a wine, our average critic score is calculated from the scores provided by several respected wine critics, who we follow for specific regions. They do not represent all critic scores and, wherever possible, we try and give more weight to more recent reviews. Where appropriate we consider market-based scores like Global Wine Score or Wine Searcher Average scores.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAs a rule, we look to offer wines that achieve a\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e92\/100\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eaverage critic score or better and frankly a lot of very good wines simply don’t make the cut. As a high-end provider we want to reflect that positioning in the quality of wines we offer. Such wines are only a tiny fraction of those generally on offer in the market. We believe that an average score is a more conservative and representative approach, but it is still subjective and only offered as a guide to our customers, who will (and should) do their own research. We will add individual critic scores to our website in the future. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"100% Nebbiolo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55560675295608,"sku":null,"price":62.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/5452\/6614\/files\/red-wine-la-ca-nova-di-rocca-montefico-vigna-bric-mentina-barbaresco-2021-36250608402582.jpg?v=1778863063","url":"https:\/\/www.theperfectbottle.com\/products\/la-ca-nova-di-rocca-montefico-vigna-bric-mentina-barbaresco-2021","provider":"The Perfect Bottle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
