Medium ruby red, the 2021 Barbaresco Gallina has wonderful energy on opening and reveals a lovely nose of bright strawberries, orange zest, fresh roses, and fresh thyme. Medium-bodied, it carries to the palate with finely coiled tannins, bright acidity, and a mouthwatering saline finish. It’s a fantastic Barbaresco that’s going to be worth holding on to. Drink 2027-2040.
With mineral notes, flint, bright cherry, waxy lipstick, red fruits instead of dark fruits and fragrant rose, this is a multifaceted Nebbiolo. The Oddero 2021 Barbaresco Gallina remains fruit-driven and floral too, and it's graciously not weighed down by oak spice or toast. In fact, it reveals angular and focused tones throughout. It offers good complexity and tannins that need food. Production is 6,000 bottles.
Pretty nose of flowers, plums, wild strawberries and citrus rind. It’s medium-bodied, floral and silky, with tight and fine-grained tannins providing an elegant structure. Drink from 2026.
The 2021 Barbaresco Gallina is a gorgeous, classically built wine that is going to need at least a few years to come around, as the tannins and acids are quite prominent at this stage. Kirsch, orange peel, spice, menthol and lavender are all finely knit-together in this beautifully taut, nervy Barbaresco from Oddero.
