The estate that launched Barbaresco: Cantina del Pino occupies the original property where Domizio Cavazza made the first wine ever labeled "Barbaresco" in 1894. The Albesani cru lies on the sun-drenched slopes of Neive's Santo Stefano hill, with clay-rich soils that yield fuller, riper wines than their Ovello bottling. The Vacca family has farmed here since the 1920s and follows a traditional approach—natural fermentation, extended maceration, aging in large Slavonian oak, no fining or filtration. Expect structure and generosity upfront, with the underlying acidity to reward patience. Decant if drinking young.
