Gallina Barbaresco DOCG 2019 - La Spinetta

La Spinetta's Gallina Barbaresco DOCG appears in the glass in vivid ruby hues, which have a purple edge. This great Nebbiolo unfolds hearty aromas of red fruits such as currants and cherries. It is rounded off with further notes of violets and roses, mocha and spices.

This red wine from Piedmont seduces on the palate with a pronounced fruit core, reminiscent of plums and currants. With a hint of tobacco, Gallina Barbaresco leads into its long finish and is accompanied by very ripe, velvety tannins.
