High-elevation farming at the edge of what vinifera can tolerate, it’s a place of stark contrasts—sun-drenched days, crisp alpine nights, and a growing season that tests the patience of both grape and grower. Here, Nebbiolo was a gamble. One that only paid off once in a while. In 2022, a warm late season allowed the grapes to hang long enough before snow called the harvest—just in time to capture this fleeting beauty.

Pale garnet in the glass, it carries all the lifted aromatics we long for in Nebbiolo—fresh strawberries, alpine herbs, plum skin, dried rose petals, and steeped tea. The palate is taut and linear, framed by fine, persistent tannins and a vibrant acid backbone. It’s a mountain wine—light on its feet, full of energy, and unadorned by oak or excess. Made naturally, but without eccentricity, this is a clean, honest expression of Colorado and possibility. This bottling exists because of Steve Rhodes, who planted Nebbiolo here in the late ’90s with hope and conviction. Now the vines are gone, and this is the last vintage ever. :( The Nebbiolo vines were replaced with Pinot Noir. This is a final chapter for this Nebbiolo. A unicorn of a wine.

These vineyards sit between 250–290 meters with predominantly east and west exposures, allowing Nebbiolo to ripen steadily while preserving aromatic precision. The soils are classic for this corner of Barbaresco: calcareous marl with sandy veins and high calcium content, a combination that consistently delivers structure, lift, and a mineral edge rather than sheer power. Vines average around 40 years old, with some reaching 70, providing depth without sacrificing freshness. Each year, younger vine selections and specific parcels are designated for Langhe Nebbiolo, giving the wine energy and approachability.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eThe Wine\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eThis is 100% Nebbiolo, fully destemmed and fermented in stainless steel at controlled temperatures. Maceration runs approximately seven days, a shorter maceration designed to extract color, aromatics, and fine tannin without building the more formidable structure of their Barbaresco bottlings. The wine is aged for eight months entirely in stainless steel, with no oak influence. The result is a transparent expression of Nebbiolo: bright cherry and raspberry tones, rose petal and subtle spice, with lively acidity. The tannins are present but polished, framing the wine but not dominating. It’s pure, direct, and precise: Nebbiolo made with immediate enjoyment in mind.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eThe People\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eCantina del Pino “winery of the pine” is one of the historic estates of Barbaresco, farmed by the Vacca family since the 1920s, when Giuseppe Vacca purchased the property from his friend, the agronomist Domizio Cavazza. A pine tree planted on the birth of Cavazza’s son still marks the highest point of Ovello and gave the estate its name. After decades supplying fruit to the Produttori del Barbaresco cooperative, Renato Vacca launched the independent Cantina del Pino label in 1997 to pursue a more personal vision. Today Renato and Franca Vacca run the estate with a small local team, farming their vineyards with meticulous attention to soil health and long-term sustainability. Their approach blends generational knowledge with contemporary agricultural research, always prioritizing vineyard work over cellar manipulation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood pairing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGrilled pork chop with rosemary, roasted shallots, and a splash of aged balsamic.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe pork is rich but not too heavy, with the Nebbiolo adds a fresh lift to this meal.

The sandy terroir and diverse landscape—where vineyards intermingle with orchards and fields—imbue the wine with a bright, energetic character that speaks to Roero’s unique microclimate.

This is Nebbiolo country of a different kind. The vineyards rest on the porphyry and volcanic rock of the ancient Valsesia supervolcano, at 380 to 450 meters, facing south and southwest for the sun they need at this altitude. Volcanic soil, elevation, and cold Alpine nights give the wines of Boca a lighter frame, higher acidity, and a savory, mineral edge that sets them apart from the richer Nebbiolos of the Langhe to the south. The terroir is very similar to the more famous Gattinara which sits on the other side of the river Sesia. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Wine\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNebbiolo, known locally as Spanna, with the traditional Boca partners Vespolina and Croatina, much of it from vines close to a century old.

The wine is pale and perfumed in the Nebbiolo way: red cherry, dried rose, blood orange, tobacco, and a smoky, iron-like savory edge from the volcanic soil, over fine, firm tannins and bright acidity. 2020 was a balanced vintage in Alto Piemonte, with ripe fruit alongside the firm structure these wines are built on.

Much of his vineyard is old vines, some around 100 years old, planted to Nebbiolo, Vespolina, and Croatina.
