Cantina del Pino 'Ovello' Barbaresco DOCG, 2020

100% Nebbiolo, 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. (From the Winery.) This wine is among Franca Vacca's very first Barbaresco she has made on her own since her husband passed away earlier in the same year, 2020. 2020 as a vintage reflects something very special and I am eager to serve these wines, save these wines, study these wines, and cherish them all the while. The previous 2019 was the first in a glorious trio of vintages, with 2020 continuing this legacy and offering Barbaresco a true spotlight. While 2020 has big boots to fill as the successor to the outstanding 2019 vintage in Piedmont, both vintages offer us something very different and, naturally, equally delightful. The 2020 vintage gives us a genuine vintage
