A beautifully mature Barbaresco hitting its stride. Aromas of dried cherry, rose petal, and orange peel mingle with truffle, leather, and sweet spice. Silky yet structured, the palate layers red fruit, tobacco, and earthy complexity with refined tannins and a long, elegant finish. Enjoy this with braised short ribs, past with wild mushrooms, or aged Parmigiano Reggiano.

A fabulous nose of Christmas pudding, plum and lemongrass leads to a full body, with soft, silky tannins and beautiful fruit.
Wine Advocate: 91 Points
The 2006 Barbaresco Vigneto Gallina opens with sexy, super-ripe aromas that continue on to the palate, where the wine reveals a gorgeous core of ripe red fruit. This is an especially elegant Gallina with tons of length and a finessed close. The 2006 Gallina will be hard to resist in its youth, but in a few years’ time the tannins should soften a touch, bringing the wine into even better balance.
