Cantina del Pino

The Vacca family has farmed in Barbaresco since the early 1900s. In 1997 Renato Vacca and his father left the local cooperative to bottle under their own label, named after a pine planted by Domizio Cavazza, the father of Barbaresco. Their vineyards sit on the Ovello hill, with cool sites and calcareous soils.

Grapes & tasting notes
Destemmed grapes. Alcoholic fermentation at controlled temperature. Duration of skin contact approx. 7 days. Malolactic fermentation completed in steel tanks..
