The Barbaresco DOCG produced by Cantina del Pino is a sublime expression of the Nebbiolo grape, one of the jewels of Piedmontese viticulture. This wine is a perfect example of how the winemaking tradition of Piedmont can be transformed into a liquid work of art, which embodies elegance, power and complexity.

Visually, Cantina del Pino's Barbaresco has a garnet red color typical of Nebbiolo, with shades that tend towards orange with aging. On the nose, the wine releases an intense and varied bouquet, with aromas of berries, violet, spices and a subtle note of tar, a distinctive characteristic of Nebbiolo.

In the mouth, Barbaresco reveals a solid but elegant structure. The tannins, although robust, are velvety and well integrated, creating a perfect balance with the typical acidity of Nebbiolo. The palate is invaded by flavors of cherry, raspberry, liquorice and a touch of spice, with a long and persistent finish that leaves a feeling of great satisfaction.

The winery

Cantina del Pino – Winery in Piemonte

Discover the story and wines of Cantina del Pino.

Small Barbaresco wine estate managed by the Vacca family, known for wines produced on the Ovello hills from Nebbiolo, Barbera and Dolcetto.
Region: Piemonte
Country: Italia
Founded: 1997
Grapes: Nebbiolo, Barbera, Dolcetto
Family-run winery. Vineyards concentrated on Ovello Hill, the historic area of Barbaresco. Production focused on Nebbiolo, Barbera and Dolcetto. Left the Consorzio Produttori del Barbaresco to market wines under its own label in 1997. Winemaking aimed at showcasing the local terroir.
Winery history
The estate, known locally as Cascina Casotto, has been tied to the Vacca family for generations; the family's roots in the area date back to the early decades of the 20th century. The estate takes its name from a centuries-old pine planted by the former owner Domizio Cavazza. In 1997 Renato Vacca, together with his father, launched an independent label after years of collaboration with the Produttori del Barbaresco consortium, marking a shift toward showcasing the local terroir.
Production philosophy
The production approach prioritizes respect for the soil and the vines: careful agricultural practices and winemaking aimed at highlighting the characteristics of the Ovello terroir. The winery combines traditional Langa expertise with contemporary choices in the vineyard and cellar to achieve expressive, balanced wines.
Terroir and vineyards
Vineyards concentrated on the Ovello hill, near Barbaresco. The site is characterized by relatively cool microclimates and calcareous soils with sandy veins and a good calcium content, ideal conditions for Nebbiolo destined for long-lived wines such as Barbaresco.
