Barbaresco DOCG Gallina returns power and elegance to the taste, with dense and sweet tannins. The different origin (the hill that houses the vineyards is located in front of that of Albesani) can be grasped in the notes, aromas and structure of this red.
Grape Varietal:
Nebbiolo 100%
Tasting Notes:
with a garnet red color appears harmonious on the nose. Hints of violet and undergrowth, combined with spicy hints. Smooth tannic texture. Very long and persistent finish.
92 Points - Wine Enthusiast, Februsry 2004. "Available only in magnums, Busso's '99 Gallina is a standout that should easily age past 2010. It shows some new oak in its scents of toast and vanilla, but also ample cherry fruit and strong elements of earth and tobacco. The finish is long and mouthwatering, yet still firm in its youth."
