Roagna - Barbaresco Gallina 2019 (750ml)
Wine Spectator: 97 Points
The aromas are still a little shy hinting at cherry and rose with a solid core of cherry strawberry rose white pepper and stony mineral flavors. Yet it's the energy in this red that's compelling exerting itself from beginning to end. Offers superb elegance and harmony on a linear frame. Best from 2027 through 2050. 369 cases made.

The 2019 Gallina from Roagna is a beautiful wine with intense aromas of violet rose cherry cake spice and sun-warmed hay. On the elegant palate notes of blood orange baking spice white pepper and salty mineral accent a juicy raspberry core. It?s well balanced with polished tannins and bright acidity. Drink 2029?2039.

The 2019 Barbaresco Gallina is a very pretty almost ethereal wine for a site that often yields more fruity Barbaresco. The aromatics are especially open at this stage even with its recent bottling. Silky tannins and mid-weight structures are the signatures. Dark red cherry leather spice and menthol linger on the sublime finish. It would certainly not be a crime to drink this on the younger side. - By Antonio Galloni on September 2024
