"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 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

"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
