Description

The Barbaresco DOCG "Gallina" by Cantina del Pino is an expression of refined elegance, which originates from one of the most renowned vineyards in the Barbaresco area, in the heart of Piedmont. This wine is the result of a careful selection of Nebbiolo grapes, grown with dedication and respect for nature, reflecting the philosophy of the winery which places quality and the most authentic expression of the terroir at the centre.

To the eye, "Gallina" shows a garnet red color typical of Nebbiolo, illuminated by orange reflections that become accentuated with aging. The olfactory bouquet is broad and complex, with intense aromas of ripe red fruit, floral notes of rose and violets, enriched by nuances of spices, tobacco and chocolate, the result of aging in wood which brings elegance without overpowering the primary aromas.

In the mouth, the wine reveals a solid and well-defined structure, with noble and velvety tannins that integrate harmoniously with lively acidity, ensuring perfect balance. The taste persistence is remarkable, with a long and satisfying finish that returns to spicy and fruity tones, leaving a sensation of fullness and harmony.

The Barbaresco "Gallina" by Cantina del Pino is a wine that pairs beautifully with intense and tasty dishes, such as roast meats, mushroom dishes, game and mature cheeses. It is also an excellent companion for moments of meditation, capable of expressing new nuances and depths over time.

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.
