2020 Cantina del Pino Barbaresco Gallina DOCG
£49.50
“With fruit from Neive on loamy limestone soils, the Cantina del Pino 2020 Barbaresco Gallina is terrific. The wine shows elegance and a lingering sense of growing power that gives it a tight and more compact mouthfeel. The Gallina has a little more tannic power and structure compared to the others in the portfolio. Only 1,800 bottles were made.”
95 Points, Monica Larner, The Wine Advocate
“Dynamic, elegant and truthful. This wine bears its soul to all that are willing to sit with it. A wine that is so good it is hard to define. Aromas of raspberry, cranberry and rose that tantalize each nerve ending. Savory and herbal aromas that sneak behind the vibrant fruit. An exhilarating wine that makes you want more, a wine that you know you will have to finish but do not want to. Elegant to the end, pure at each step, the wine is a joy. Drink now – 2045”

This wine is obtained from 100% Nebbiolo grapes, grown in the prestigious Gallina vineyard, known for its optimal exposure and the calcareous-clayey soil that gives the wine a refined structure and a distinctive aromatic bouquet.
On the nose, Barbaresco Gallina 2020 presents a rich and complex aromatic profile, characterized by notes of ripe red fruits, such as cherry and raspberry, accompanied by floral scents of rose and violet. With aging, nuances of sweet spices, tobacco and leather emerge, adding depth and charm to the bouquet.
On the palate, this Barbaresco stands out for its well-integrated tannic structure and lively acidity, which guarantee perfect balance and considerable aging potential.
