Cantina del Pino delivers a standout base Barbaresco with a bright ruby color and distinct aromas of dried cassis, leather, tobacco, prune, chestnut honey and blue flower. The wine is packed with bright acidity and tight tannins for long aging. The complexity here is really very special.

Cantina del Pino is a true manufacturer of delight and magic. This pristine, elegant but mature Barbaresco is a prime example of this vintner’s exciting potential. Aromas of jammy berry, cola, cedar and smoke are carefully layered and stacked tall. Open in 5–10 years.

Here’s a soft and supple Barbaresco from winemaker Renato Vacca that ups the ante in terms of intensity, texture and pulpy density. The aromas are ripe and fruit-forward, focusing mainly on soft cherry and creamy vanilla. Yet, the wine’s tight tannins and bitter cranberry aftertaste reminds you that this is a true Barbaresco. Drink after 2012.

Extraordinary intensity and complexity make this a true standout. The Ovello cru excels in excellent vintages like 2004. This is a polished and pristine wine with a noticeable mineral layer that adds a delicate touch. Tannins and acidity are abundant and the wine culminates with a blast of cooling menthol. Drink after 2018.

Here’s a dark and sophisticated Nebbiolo with an informal twist (including a glass cork that locks in freshness). Fruit characteristics include white cherry, forest berry and wild raspberry. Thanks to 10 months of oak aging, you also get structure, softness, spice and tobacco.
