2021 Cantina del Pino, Barbaresco

Cantina del Pino’s 2021 Barbaresco is a beautifully lifted and classically structured expression of Nebbiolo from one of the region’s most consistently reliable estates. Sourced from estate parcels in Ovello and the broader Barbaresco comune, the wine shows the hallmark aromatic clarity of the vintage: rose petal, sour cherry, raspberry, and sweet herbs layered over fine, chalky tannins and bright, linear acidity. Fermented traditionally and aged in large cask, it balances precision and finesse with the quiet depth that makes Cantina del Pino such a perennial overachiever. A superb introduction to the elegance and tension of the 2021 vintage—and a bottle that will drink gracefully over the next 7–10 years.
