The 2016 Barbaresco Gallina Vürsù is a streamlined wine that brings less to the table in terms of richness but more in terms of intensity and structure. The tannins here are well integrated, and there are some light notes of spice and tobacco, but this beautiful Nebbiolo still has a way to go. This vintage should look forward to aging gracefully. The wine ages in oak for 22 months. Production is ample with 10,500 bottles made.

A mix of black currant and cherry fruit runs through this linear red, with notes of juniper, eucalyptus and pine. Firmly structured, with a long aftertaste of tobacco and earth. Best from 2023 through 2042. 958 cases made, 300 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barbaresco Select to Add
