The 2020 Barbaresco Ovello delivers the precise structural balance expected from Nebbiolo grown in Treiso’s eastern slope vineyards. Sourced entirely from the Ovello cru, this 750 ml bottle presents a luminous ruby core with pronounced notes of sour cherry, dried rose, and wet stone minerality. Refined, velvety tannins wrap around a medium-weight frame, leading to a clean, graphite-driven finish that reflects the area’s limestone-rich clay soils.

This edition follows established Langhe production methods for Nebbiolo, prioritizing skin contact and temperature-controlled fermentation to preserve varietal intensity while softening harsh early-year edges. The 2020 vintage provides a cohesive acid-to-tannin ratio, making the wine approachable now while retaining the backbone for aging into its third decade.

Suggested food pairings

  • Osso buco or braised short ribs prepared with local red wine reductions
  • Paccheri pasta tossed with roasted mushrooms and black truffle shavings
  • Felled-aged cheeses like Castelmagno or matured Pecorino
  • Grilled squab or herb-roasted duck with bitter greens

Store sealed in a cool, dark environment until ready to drink. Decant approximately 45 minutes before serving to unlock the full aromatic spectrum.

"From the sloping vineyard site just below the Cantina del Pino winery, the 2020 Barbaresco Ovello always holds special significance in the hearts and minds of those who collect and drink these wines. Always reflective of the house style, the wine is open-knit and delicate on the senses, folding over the palate with delicate notes of wild berry fruit, blue flower and light touches of smoke or campfire. Production is 5,400 bottles."
