2019 Cantina del Pino - Barbaresco Ovello (750ml)
Price: $69.99
Cantina del Pino, led by the Vacca family, is woven into the tapestry of Barbaresco’s rich winemaking history. The estate is centered on a prime parcel of vineyards in the historic heart of Ovello – crowned by a towering pine tree (hence, ‘Pino’), planted by Domizio Cavazza 140 years ago. Over the past two plus decades, Renato Vacca produced some of the very best wines of the entire Barbaresco appellation.
Ovello's primary soil type is Helvetian sandstone which is much older and lighter than the Tortonian soils found in the Gallina vineyard. This soil drains extremely well and encourages roots to dig deep to access the water table and bring nutrients, complexity and minerality to the grapes. The result is a much lighter bodied wine - more finesse, elegance, and a more red-fruited, subtle wine. The ’19 shows so much character and was hard to resist even in its youth. This wine is pure class and deserves a special place in your cellar.
