Cantina del Pino Barbaresco DOCG, 2022

Regular price $58.00

*This is our Annual Barolo Direct Import Offer*

The Cantina del Pino 2022 Barbaresco is a generous, uniquely delicious, approachable expression of Nebbiolo, showing the darker fruit character and reliance on old vines in the 2022 vintage in an inviting, medium-rich style. The fruit comes from vineyards with east, southwest and west exposures, planted in silty calcareous marl soils that give the wine the foundation to allow the depth of a dry vintage to shine. With approximately 12,000 bottles produced, this is a lovely and versatile Barbaresco that offers a balance of present drinkable pleasure at the table and the possibility to nurture deeper and richer character with some time in the Cellar.

The wine opens with dark cherry richness, followed by a darker fruit profile that carries through the mid-palate. There is a pleasing plumpness and generosity here, giving the wine an accessibility that makes it easy to enjoy in its youth. Rather than austere precision, the 2022 favors a broader and more fruit driven character. The silty calcareous marl soils define underlying freshness to keep the wine balanced, while the dry growing season of the vintage lends it a rounder, delicious personality.

This is the Barbaresco to have on hand when you want something delicious and pure. Serve with roast chicken, pork, sausage, pasta with homemade meat sauce, mushrooms or a simple grilled steak. Plump fruit, broad structure and generous personality make it immediately appealing, while its classic Nebbiolo character keeps it firmly rooted in the Langhe tradition.

Details

From my Importer: Cantina del Pino has emerged, seemingly recently, as one of the most important producers of Barbaresco. However their vineyard and family history could not be more intertwined with the history of Barbaresco. The very first wine labeled as Barbaresco, made by the "father" of Barbaresco, the renowned enologist Domizio Cavazza in 1894, was made from the Ovello Vineyard that Renato Vacca's great-great grandfather purchased from him a few years later and the family has owned ever since. Cavazza owned the estate, formerly known as Cascina Ovello, another nearby parcel, and also the castle. When his first son was born he planted a Pine tree at the top of Ovello and over time it became known as Cantina del Pino. That tree, depicted on the label, still stands today. The bulk of their current vineyard land is on the historic cru “Ovello” in the commune of Barbaresco. Ovello’s elevation, exposure, both to the sun and the climate moderating effects of the nearby Tanaro river, vine age (80 years) and soil mix all contribute to the combination of finesse, complexity and power evident in the wines of Cantina del Pino. Ovello has a long track record of producing one of the most complex and elegant Barbareschi. The estate has been acquiring new vineyards over the last few years spread around the village of Nieve. One, just a couple of hundred yards from Vigneto Santo Stefano in Albesani, which has been long considered a Grand Cru of the Nieve part of the Barbaresco zone. It is a very dark and powerful wine (though made in the exact same way) and so very complementary in the line to the incredible finesse of the Ovello.
