Winery notes (2020 Vintage)
"Made of 100% Nebbiolo grapes grown in the hills overlooking Barbaresco, this wine delivers a delicate perfume reminiscent of dark cherry and black pepper with a hint of tobacco from a fine cigar. Elegant and fully ripe it has a wonderful structure and balance. Aged for two years in the oak and one year in the bottle, this wine is as good now as it will be aged for many years."
93/100 Monica Larner, RobertParker.com, Wine Advocate (2020 Vintage)
"Elegant and precise, the Cantina del Pino 2020 Barbaresco brings lots of freshness and a charming view of young Nebbiolo fruit. This vintage tends to be more accessible overall, but you are nonetheless awarded with the subtle nuances and complexity that characterize this variety. There is tart cassis, violet and earthy licorice root."
93/100 Jeff Porter, Wine Enthusiast (2020 Vintage)
"This wine holds its story close as if it’s waiting for just the right moment to reveal its secrets. Subtle aromas of wild fruits, dried herbs and the intriguing aroma of cola nut mingle with hints of licorice. On the palate, it’s a satisfying chewiness that gives the wine a richness to hold the dark-cherry notes and black-tea flavours. The fresh acidity adds a lively touch, promising that this wine has the stamina to age beautifully over time. Drink now–2045."
92/100 Kerin O'Keefe (2020 Vintage)
"Linear and lovely, the 2020 Cantina del Pino has pretty aromas of red forest berry, eucalyptus, dog rose leather and brown exotic spice. The luminous, lightly-hued and already accessible palate has an ethereal elegance and features wild strawberry, cranberry, white pepper and black tea alongside taut, fine-grained tannins. A bitter orange note signals the finish. Drink through 2029."
