Barbaresco Gallina 2017 150cl

The 2017 Barbaresco Gallina packs a serious punch of acid and tannin, its mid-weight structure notwithstanding. Sweet red cherry, tobacco, cedar, mint and orange peel open with some air, and yet the Gallina remains pretty reluctant today. I would give it a year or two in bottle, minimum.

Red berry and cherry aromas follow through to a medium -bodied palate with lightly firm tannins and some sweet fruit on the finish. Drink now.
