Cantina del Pino Barbaresco 'Ovello' 2019

Ovello is one of the most famous sites in the entire Barbaresco wine growing region. The elegance and intensity of this wine is conferred by the perfectly situated location of the vine: on the hills above the Tanaro River with S/SW exposure and a limestone and sandy soil. Equally delicious young or aged.

“Opening to dusty mineral notes of crushed limestone, the 2019 Barbaresco Ovello is a focused and angular wine that makes for a very pretty presentation. The aromas are direct and vertical, given momentum by shadings of iron ore and pencil shaving. I love the extreme focus of this wine. Some 6,000 bottles were released, and as always, Cantina del Pino offers enormous quality at this price point. 2024-2040” 95+ points, Monica Larner, The Wine Advocate Aug 2023
