2014 Barbaresco Ovello, Cantina del Pino, Piedmont

There’s real power to the Ovello this year, yet with alpine-touched fruit which gives the wine incredible balance and purity. Saline and dark and brooding, but with incredible precision on the finish, this is a simply stunning Barbaresco.

2014 Barbaresco Ovello, Cantina del Pino, Piedmont
Cantina del Pino

This tiny winery holds a special place in the history of Barbaresco. It was first owned by Domizio Cavazza, who first recognised the potential of Barbaresco for the Nebbiolo grape around the turn of the last century. He’s known fondly as ‘the father of Barbaresco.’ The estate was acquired by the great-grandfather of Renato Vacca, who is the current incumbent. Renato takes a step back in the cellar: he lets the wines do their thing. The results are pure, intense, and expressive.
