"The 2021 Barbaresco Ovello offers up scents of chalk, dried herbs, mint, orange peel, white pepper and dried autumn leaves. Readers will find a taut, sinewy Barbaresco endowed with notable energy as well as tension. The 2021 is a wine for readers who can wait. Today, all of the natural vibrancy of Ovello is very much on display. Aromatically, the 2021 is so alluring, but it needs time." —Antonio Galloni

"This is the wine that best captures the spirit of Cantina del Pino. The 2021 Barbaresco Ovello draws its fruit from nearby the winery at 300 meters in elevation on limestone marl and silt. Aged in large oak casks for a long 24 months, it shows delicate fruit tones of cassis and dried cherry with blue flower and grilled herb. This mid-weight vintage delivers a higher alcohol content at 15%. Production is 5,400 bottles." —Monica Larner

"Alluring aromas of charcuterie, violet and ripe forest berry mingle with a potpourri of dark spice on the stunning 2021 Ovello from Cantina del Pino. Full-bodied and savory, the palate is bold but also boasts a weightless concentration that envelops raspberry preserve, mature Marasca cherry, vanilla and mocha. Velvety tannins provide support while fresh acidity lifts the finish. Drink 2028–2035." —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.
