This is a strong set of wines from Cantina del Pino, but readers tasting this range need to be prepared to give the wines considerable aeration. The Barbarescos spend three weeks on the skins. Some of the tanks may also see submerged cap maceration. Aging is 24 months in 20-25HL casks.

Some 6,000 bottles were released, and as always, Cantina del Pino offers enormous quality at this price point. This whole portfolio from Cantina del Pino is terrific, with top-notch expressions of Nebbiolo that are fine and fragile. \u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eAug 24, 2023\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Barbaresco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39253760213126,"sku":"SUN-pino-OVELLO","price":67.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0075\/0338\/0543\/products\/PinoOvelloBarbaresco.png?v=1763978225"},{"product_id":"pw0001","title":"Azelia Barolo 2021","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis wine is harvested from seven parcels spread across Lorenzo and Luigi Scavino’s 16-hectare farm.

Brother and sister Francesco and Luisa Rocca are doing a tremendous job of continuing the work that their father began here in the late 1970s, while also charting what looks like an extremely bright future. The 2022 Barbarescos are just as impressive as they were last year, if not more so. There will be no Riservas or Maria Adelaide, as the best lots were used for the core wines, all Barbarescos that are deeply expressive of site. The tannins are a bit edgy in the young 2022s, but time should help, as another year in bottle has already helped these wines since I first tasted them in September 2024. I find the 2023s just a touch more refined, especially in the tannins, suggesting better overall physiological ripeness in the skins and seeds. One of the recent evolutions here has been a shortening of time in cask by a few months, which I think benefits the wines.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Two thousand twenty-two was not as hot as 2017, but it was exceptionally dry everywhere. All of our vines experienced heat stress,” Francesco Rocca explained. “In 2023, on the other hand, some vines suffered quite a bit, but others did better, especially those with deeper root systems and sites that are not as directly exposed to the sun. Canopies were healthier at harvest than they were in 2022. I have never seen growers make so many different choices in the vineyard as I saw in 2023.” Rocca gave the 2023 Barbarescos 40-45 days on the skins with submerged cap maceration, as opposed to 25-26 days for the 2022s.

The wines themselves pulse with energy, tension and lustrous fruit. Barolo di Serralunga is 80% from the Boscareto vineyard and 20% from the Lirano vineyard. Boscareto’s limestone soils give depth and minerality, while Lirano’s sandy soils give an added airiness and elegance to the fruit.

Since then, Conterno and his team have made a series of stellar wines. There are three Gattinaras in the range. The straight Gattinara is the most approachable of the wines and is therefore released a year earlier, although aging for all three wines is three years in wood. The two vineyard designates – Molsino and Valferrana – offer different shades of complexity, finesse and intensity, depending on the year. The Molsino is the first of the two single vineyards to ripen and can be a bigger wine, while the Valferrana ripens later because of its somewhat more sheltered position.

Sourced primarily from old-vine parcels planted in 1965 and 2000, the vineyard combines the concentration of mature vines with the freshness that defines this corner of Monforte.

Rich and ample in feel, the 2019 is seriously impressive. There is a feeling of breadth that is palpable. Dark red\/purplish fruit, rose petal, blood orange and spice blossom with a bit of coaxing. Readers can drink the 2019 now or cellar it. Time in the glass brings out the wine's inner perfume. This finishes with notable substance and explosive resonance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"text-gray-700 text-base text-sm\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003eVineyard: \u003c\/b\u003eSourced from the Casasse vineyard in Neive.
