"The 2021 Barbaresco Gallina is a gorgeous, understated wine from this site in Neive. Soft contours wrap around a core of vibrant red-toned fruit. Time in the glass brings out the wine's energy and mid-palate core. All the elements are beautifully woven together. Ripe, plush tannins add to the wine's sensual feel. The Gallina is the most approachable of the single-vineyard Barbarescos today." —Antonio Galloni

"This is a limited release of 1,800 bottles. The Cantina del Pino 2021 Barbaresco Gallina is balanced and structured with chalky tannins and a powerful 15% alcohol content. The Gallina vineyard sits at 250 meters in elevation with limestone marl and silty soils. I like the way this wine comes together on the nose to show intensity and varietal character." —Monica Larner

"Forest floor, camphor, new leather and dog rose aromas lift out of the glass. Full-bodied but endowed with a weightless finesse, the elegantly structured palate delivers succulent red cherry, tangy blood orange, star anise and ground clove alongside taut, fine-grained tannins. Bright acidity keeps it fresh and dances across the palate. Drink 2029–2036." —Kerin O'Keefe

More about Cantina del Pino

Renato Vacca was born and raised in Barbaresco. His family’s history there goes back generations. The estate was originally purchased by Renato's great-grandfather in the 1920’s from the son of Domizio Cavazza, the father of Barbaresco. For most of its history the family estate sold the majority of their grapes to Produttori del Barbaresco, the local cooperative where Renato's father, Adriano was a founding member. In 1987, Renato convinced his father to start producing their own wines.

All that personal and generational knowledge made Renato one of the most experienced growers in Barbaresco and he knew its sites and soils intimately. Vineyards at Cantina del Pino are lovingly tended to without the use of harsh chemicals and synthetic fertilizers. In the winery, Renato guided his wines with a soft touch and while a traditionalist in many respects he was not afraid to put his own stamp, such as the inclusion of a small percentage of whole clusters. The wines are powerful and intense yet elegant and supremely refined.

Renato’s wife Franca and his father Adriano, who still directs viticulture at the estate, along with his cousin Aldo Vacca at Produttori are now continuing the work that Renato began.
