This is the estate that farms the very hill where modern Barbaresco was born. Cantina del Pino sits on the old property of Domizio Cavazza, the man who literally wrote the book on Barbaresco and founded the co-op that became the Produttori, and it takes its name from the Mediterranean pine he planted here over a century ago. The Vacca family keeps the traditional flame burning: long macerations, big old oak casks, no filtering. This classico draws Nebbiolo from the Ovello cru, rounded out with Starderi and Gallina, giving you the perfume and mineral lift of a serious Barbaresco without the sticker shock or the decade-long wait. Elegant, savory, and built to reward a few years in the cellar.
