Cantina del Pino
Barbaresco, Piemonte, Italy
Cantina del Pino is perched atop the hill in Barbaresco, overlooking the Ovello vineyard, and has been part of the Vacca family for over a century.
The estate's emblem is the prominent maritime pine tree on the Ovello hill, planted in the late 19th century by Domizio Cavazza, known as the "father of Barbaresco" and original owner of the estate. Renato's great-grandfather Giuseppeacquired the property in the 1920s when the Cavazza family relocated to Turin following Domizio’s passing.
For generations, the Vacca family cultivated grapes as members of the Produttori del Barbaresco cooperative until 1997, when Renato Vacca and his father Adriano began producing their own wines under the label “Cantina del Pino”.
Since 2020, the winery has been run by Renato's wife, Franca Miretti, assisted by Renato's father, Adriano.
Today, the property covers 10 hectares of vineyards between the municipalities of Barbaresco and Neive and, since 2016, a a vineyard in the municipality of Mombercelli, where the Barbera d'Asti is produced.

Langhe Nebbiolo
This Langhe Nebbiolo spent 8 months in large oak casks.
Fragrant raspberry, cherry, dried florals is alluringly seasoned with a fragrant spice box, and framed with long, finely grippy / sticky tannins to a peppery finish. As with all their wines, there's a great freshness, yet stoic reserve here. Drinking now, and with time ahead.
