The Barbaresco DOCG Gallina 2017 by Roagna represents one of the highest expressions of Nebbiolo, a grape that has defined the great wines of Piedmont for centuries. Produced from grapes grown in the Gallina cru, located in the Neive commune, this Barbaresco is the result of careful and environmentally respectful viticulture. The vineyard, with its calcareous and clayey soils, provides ideal conditions for Nebbiolo, giving the wine complexity and depth. The 2017 harvest, characterized by a warm climate, produced a wine of great intensity but always balanced, thanks to the wise management of ripening in the vineyard and vinification in the cellar.
The Barbaresco Gallina 2017 presents itself with a brilliant garnet red color. On the nose, complex aromas of ripe red fruits such as cherry and raspberry emerge, accompanied by floral notes of rose and violet, and spicy hints of cinnamon, tobacco, and leather. On the palate, the wine is powerful and enveloping, with well-presented but finely integrated tannins. The freshness perfectly balances the structure, leading to a long and persistent finish, with returns of ripe fruit and sweet spices. This Barbaresco pairs perfectly with red meat dishes, braised meats, and aged cheeses, and promises to evolve beautifully over the years.
