The Cantina del Pino is located in the heart of the Langhe region of Piedmont, above the Tanaro River, this magical area where vines grow alongside hazelnut, chestnut and truffle trees.
Renato Vacca's ancestor was the director of the Royal School of Oenology in Alba between 1888 and 1913. He surprised everyone by settling in the Barbaresco area and buying vines there, rather than in Barolo, which was then better known. There he bought the vineyard in the locality of Ovello and produced Nebbiolo wine, which was first called Barbaresco.
Renato Vacca is a modest and talented character who can be described as a rising star in Barbaresco wines. His wines are very structured and age beautifully. They bear witness to the typical Nebbiolo character associated with an extraordinary terroir. What's more, like Renato Vacca, the prices of his wines remain very modest...

Albesani 2010. Belle robe rubis intense. Nez complexe de violette, benzine, truffe, fraise. En bouche, le vin est très expressif. L'équilibre est parfait. Grande matière et fraîcheur. Arômes de fraises et de goudron, typiques. Grand dynamisme et complexité. Longue finale truffée. Un vin taillé pour la garde. Superbe. 95/100Rating
