A powerful yet finely sculpted single-vineyard Barbaresco, the 2021 ‘Gallina’ reveals a complex aromatic profile of fresh raspberry, wild strawberry and plum, layered with rose petals, tar, liquorice and subtle balsamic herbs. On the palate, it is structured and energetic, with firm, racy tannins and a pronounced mineral backbone that gives a sense of vertical precision. Despite its intensity, the wine carries a lifted, almost weightless feel, with notes of dark fruit, spice, menthol and earthy depth unfolding gradually. The finish is long, savoury and tightly coiled — a classic, age-worthy expression of Nebbiolo that will reward cellaring. Best with braised beef, venison, lamb shank, truffle pasta, porcini risotto or aged hard cheeses — dishes that match its structure, tannin and depth.
