Roagna Barbaresco Gallina 2017 (750ML)

94 WS / 92 VM

Both rich and fruity, boasting cherry, strawberry, rose, iron and eucalyptus aromas and flavors. Shows terrific balance and a juiciness that extends the fruit and savory finish. Best from 2024 through 2042. 311 cases made.-Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator

The 2017 Barbaresco Gallina is bright, translucent and bristling with energy. Crushed red berry fruit, blood orange, spice, anise, mint and chalk all run through this nervy, mid-weight Barbaresco. In 2017, the Gallina leans towards the more taut end of the spectrum. Sweet kirsch and floral notes add an exotic flourish on the finish.-Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media
