The 2001 Barbaresco Gallina, a dense, fully-saturated ruby, opens with a perfumed nose showing flowers, sweet spices, truffles and over-ripe fruit. Every time I taste this wine I am surprised by the lack of fleshiness and depth it exhibits on the mid-palate, although the oak, while still present, seems to have begun to integrate. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2013.
