"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 grapes have a maximum age of 15 years. The maceration of the skins is limited to 6-8 days in order to extract the few tannins present from the skins and as much coloring substances as possible from them, so that the wine has a good color and a remarkable softness.

"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
