"The 2019 Barbaresco Gallina is another enticing wine in this range from Castello di Neive. It shows the forward fruit that is typical of this site, but with the energy of a cooler year, a combination that works quite well. Sweet dried cherry, incense, orange peel, cinnamon and dried flowers lend aromatic presence to this translucent, super-expressive Barbaresco from Castello di Neive."...

The wine has an intense garnet color. The nose is broad, complex and energetic. Notes of ripe fruit and spices such as pepper and cinnamon prevail over the primary aromas. The firm structure amalgamates acidity and alcoholic power and allows the aromas to open progressively. The finish is long, persistent and with soft and well balanced tannins.

"The 2020 Barbaresco Gallina is laced with dark cherry, plum, leather, licorice, tobacco and incense. Medium in body, yet nicely layered, the 2020 offers terrific depth, always in the mid-weight style that is typical of the house. It's another terrific wine in this range. Soft, plush contours make the Gallina easy to drink, even in the early going. " Antonio Galloni - Vinous
