Dense, dark with rich flavors of plum and prune, the 2011 Barbera d'Alba Gallina is a powerful wine with rich concentration. The bouquet bursts open with cherry liqueur, maple syrup, tar, licorice and smoky Teriyaki sauce. Roasted espresso bean adds even more toasty appeal. This is Barbera with big bones.

A beast, dark and inky, exuding plum, blackberry, earth and menthol aromas and flavors. Balanced toward the alcohol, this is impressive, but lacks the elegant side of Barbera. Drink now through 2018. 900 cases made, 150 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barbera d'Alba Select to Add
