The 2021 Barbera d'Alba Gallina is pretty impressive in this vintage. Dark and potent, with terric persistence, the Gallina has plenty of texture that has always been a signature but without the heaviness and strong oak imprint that was at times penalizing. Dark red/purplish fruit, lavender, licorice, mocha and rose petals scream out of the glass. Pretty oral top notes brighten the finish
