Barbaresco Gallina DOCG 2017

Roagna | Piedmont
Az. Agr. I Paglieri | Loc. Paglieri 9 | IT 12050 Barbaresco

Gallina comes from a steep, sandy vineyard, similar to the Asili site, but with less lime content, which gives it more roundness and fullness. Full bouquet of sweet tobacco, cedar, liquorice and dried herbs. A soft, sweet, red fruit combines in an exciting way with the typical Roagna austerity on the palate to an impressive complexity and length. It will only reveal its true elegance to us in a few years. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2017 Barbaresco Gallina is bright, translucent and bursting with energy. Crushed red berry fruit, blood orange, spice, anise, mint and chalk run through this nervy, mid-weight Barbaresco. In 2017, Gallina tends more towards the taut end of the spectrum. Sweet cherry water and floral notes give it an exotic edge on the finish." Vinous

"Both rich and fruity, boasting cherry, strawberry, rose, iron and eucalyptus aromas and flavors. Shows terrific balance and a juiciness that extends the fruit and savory finish." Wine Spectator
