MIXED CASE : Cantina del Pino

Each case contains 6 bottles of the following wines:

2 x Langhe Nebbiolo 2024. $40
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. 

2 x Barbera d’Asti Bricco Gallinetta 2024. $33
This single vineyard (Bricco Gallinetta) Barbera, from sandy soils, was vinified in stainless. Tart and bright, with wild cherry, raspberry, and morello plum woven through the medium palate, with flocked tannins hugging the sides, and salinity lingering on the lightly warming finish. Though 14%, this has fantastic freshness on the palate. A super smart Asti.

1 x Barbaresco 2020. $74
This spent 2 years in older wood, bottled without filtration, and spent 1 year in bottle prior to release. Alluring wild cherry, wildflowers, fine espresso, ferrous dust, and bergamot teem along the fuller palate, with long, finely grippy tannins framing to a medicinal kirsch scented finish. As with all their wines, ample freshness here, belying its 14.5% and the generous 2020 vintage. Drinking now, beautifully and amply.

"Elegant and precise, the Cantina del Pino 2020 Barbaresco brings lots of freshness and a charming view of young Nebbiolo fruit. This vintage tends to be more accessible overall, but you are nonetheless awarded with the subtle nuances and complexity that characterize this variety. There is tart cassis, violet and earthy licorice root. This is a 12,000-bottle release. Drink 2026-2039.”  93 points, Monica Larner, Wine Advocate

1 x Barbaresco 2021. $74
This spent 2 years in older wood, bottled without filtration, and spent 1 year in bottle prior to release. Kirsch, balsam, and scrubby herbs light up the nose and carry through the medium bodied palate, woven with wild cherry, wild raspberry, plum, scrubby herbs and cracked white pepper. Tannins are ample and sticky, but well integrated into the fruit. Great energy and form now, and with time ahead. Give this time to open in the glass.

"The Cantina del Pino 2021 Barbaresco (with 12,000 bottles made) is perfumed and nuanced with pretty fruit tones of cassis and dried cherry and an equally important floral side with rose potpourri and iris root. The wine starts fermentation in both stainless steel and oak vats, and it matures in large oak casks for 24 months before going into bottle. It glides over the palate with polished tannins and a lean to mid-weight mouthfeel. I'd give this vintage a little more bottle age to allow it to flesh out further. Drink 2026-2040.” 94 points, Monica Larner, Wine Advocate

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 Giuseppe acquired 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.
