Barbaresco, Gallina, 2019

justerini & brooks tasting note

Radiant and expressive with the most alluring perfume. Strawberries and sunshine with notes of geranium, kombucha, fine earth and rock salt. Well-structured, it is more serious on the palate than its heady, alluring nose leads one to believe. The Busso part of Gallina is considered a good one, as it is well-exposed, facing Ovello to the west rather than full south, so it benefits from breezes coming off the Tanaro.

critic reviews

91/100Antonio Galloni,Vinous

The 2019 Barbaresco Gallina is the most easygoing of the three 2019s I tasted for this report, and also the most forward. Worn-in leather, tobacco, spice, menthol, dried herbs and dried cherry fruit are all suggestive of a wine with early tertiary characteristics. Even so, the 2019 has enough depth to drink well for at least a handful of years.
