    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.

    Antonio 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.
