Descrizione

Albesani Barbaresco DOCG from Cantina del Pino presents an elegant, measured profile, typical of great Nebbiolo. In the glass it shows a garnet-red color with slight orange reflections; on the nose it evokes small red fruits, rose petals, a hint of undergrowth and earthy notes that form a coherent, not overpowering bouquet. Its character is subtle, austere at first impression but able to be appreciated for its balance and finesse, with a pleasant savory sensation that invites the sip.

On the palate the wine is vibrant and dry, supported by lively freshness and tannins that are present but well harmonized; the structure is solid, the finish persistent and clean. It pairs well with roasted or braised meats, lightly spiced game, pasta with ragù and aged cheeses; it is also a good companion to dishes of traditional Piedmontese cuisine. Serve at a controlled temperature, with a few minutes of decanting if opened immediately, or let it evolve in the cellar to gain softness.

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.
