Descrizione

Ovello Barbaresco DOCG from Cantina del Pino tells the story of Nebbiolo with restraint and finesse: on the nose it opens with aromas of rose petal, cherries preserved in spirits and small red berries, hints of aromatic herbs and a slight note of damp earth. The palate is lithe, supported by vibrant freshness and savory, still perceptible tannins that provide structure without being harsh; the texture is taut but not spare, with a softness that refines the mouthfeel and a persistence that evokes the forest floor with a balsamic touch.

In the glass it shows a balance of elegance and substance, suitable both for a convivial table and for more reflective occasions. It pairs naturally with roasted or braised meats, mushrooms and aged cheeses, and holds up to aromatic dishes without overpowering them. A short pass in the decanter enhances the aromas; serve around 16–18 °C to better appreciate its splendid tension and the clarity of the palate.

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.
