The 2011 Barbaresco Gallina is fabulous. It has many of the same tonalities of fruit and overall personality as the 2010, but with more richness, volume and depth, all signatures of the vintage. Sweet red berries, rose petals, flowers of all kinds, mint and sweet spices are all woven togehter in a wine of notable class. Elegant and finessed all the way, the 2011 Gallina is impressive from the very first taste. The long silky finish is laced with exotic floral and spice nuances, all of which add intrigue.
