Description

The Cantina del Pino came under the possession of the Vacca family, the current owners, in the 1920s when Giuseppe Vacca bought it from Dominizo Cavazza, which was known then as Cascina Casotto. The estate branched out in 1997 from the Produttori del Barbaresco Cooperative, Cantina del Pino’s approach towards winemaking has been to appreciate the land and its processes and etch the stories of the soil in each bottle of wine.   The estate and vineyard are currently managed by Renato Vacca and his wife Franca Vacca. They drive the business with the belief that the quality of the grapes decides the quality of the wines. Their efforts to combine the Vacca family’s knowledge about winemaking with agricultural research and environmental sustainability have received praise worldwide. The family makes its wines from the classical grape varieties of Piedmont: Nebbiolo, Dolcetto and Barbera.
