Winery Cantina del Pino

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.

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.

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.
