Vinous Media (93)- "The 2022 Barbera d'Alba Gallina is very good. Sleek and racy in the glass, the 2022 is so engaging. Dark red cherry/plum fruit, mocha, sweet spice and rose petal show notable vibrancy. The purity of fruit alone is so alluring. This could benefit from a touch less oak. Even so, this mid-weight, polished Barbera from a south-facing vineyard is an absolute delight and a success in 2022."
Jeb Dunnuck (92)- "Pouring a similar magenta/purple hue, the 2022 Barbera D'Alba Superiore Gallina comes from the estate’s single-vineyard site in Neive, purchased in 1995. The nose is very pretty and lifted, with floral and fruity aromas of blueberries, violets, and fresh red berries. Medium to full-bodied, it doesn’t have the sharper edge or acidity of the Asti expressions, leaning instead toward a rounder, more supple style. Drink 2026-2036."
Vinous Media (93)- "The 2021 Barbera d'Alba Gallina is pretty impressive in this vintage. Dark and potent, with terrific persistence, the Gallina has plenty of texture that has always been a signature but without the heaviness and strong oak imprint that was at times penalizing. Dark red/purplish fruit, lavender, licorice, mocha and rose petals scream out of the glass. Pretty floral top notes brighten the finish."
