An early-drinking, 100% Nebbiolo from organically farmed vineyards in Barbaresco and Neive, largely a selection from the estate's Ovello holdings. Shorter maceration and a briefer aging regimen than the Barbaresco bottlings make this a wine meant to be enjoyed on release, while still showing the crushed red berry, cinnamon, and floral character of the estate's terroir.
This is Barbaresco pedigree without the wait — Cantina del Pino's Langhe Nebbiolo captures the estate's terroir in a wine built for drinking now, not decades from now.
New to wine?
The easiest way into Cantina del Pino's style and into Nebbiolo generally — bright red fruit and cinnamon spice without the tannic weight of a young Barbaresco.
Food Pairings
Versatile with grilled sausages, tomato-based pasta, and lighter braises — a great everyday Nebbiolo.
When to drink it

- Is Langhe Nebbiolo the same grape as Barbaresco?
- Yes — both are 100% Nebbiolo. Langhe Nebbiolo uses fruit that doesn't go into the Barbaresco bottlings and undergoes shorter maceration and aging, making it ready to drink much sooner.
- How does it compare to the Barbaresco cru wines?
- It shows similar crushed red berry, cinnamon and floral notes but with softer tannins, meant for earlier drinking rather than long cellaring.
- What food pairs well with it?
- Grilled sausages, tomato-based pasta, and lighter braises make for a versatile everyday match.
