The Ganda peak, a mighty massif behind Andriano, stands to protect the sweet vineyards of the wide Adige valley. Vigorous and elegant, deep and balanced: apparent contrasts that in this full-bodied Merlot give life to a surprisingly harmonious whole.

"The 2016 Barolo Gallinotto is an attractive, gracious La Morra Barolo. The tannins need time to soften, so I would cellar it for at least a year or two. Dried cherry, mint, orange rind, crushed rose petal, anise and sweet spice all develop in the glass. Ultimately, the 2016 might merit a slightly more positive note if it sheds some of its youthful austerity. " Antonio Galloni
