Tasting Notes

This vintage delivers a straightforward expression of Piedmont’s signature red grape, prioritizing freshness and drinkability over extraction. Expect a clean mid-palate anchored by vibrant acidity and pronounced red fruit flavors, complemented by subtle herbal notes and a dry, structured finish. Soft tannins and minimal oak influence keep the wine balanced, allowing the natural character of the crop to shine through without heaviness or pretense.

Suggested Food Pairings

The wine’s moderate body and lively acid profile make it highly versatile for casual dining scenarios. Serve it at cellar temperature or slightly chilled to maximize its refreshing quality. Ideal accompaniments include:

• Traditional tomato-sauce pastas and aglio e olio preparations
• Grilled pork sausages, roasted chicken thighs, or vegetable tarts
• Hard aged cheeses, cured meats, and olive-stocked boards

Cantina del Pino focuses on restrained winemaking methods that protect fruit integrity and regional typicity. This 2021 release offers a dependable, food-compatible red that bridges weekend entertaining and weekday routines without sacrificing varietal clarity or pour consistency.
