Barbaresco docg Gallina Oddero 2016

Barbaresco “Gallina” by Oddero is produced with Nebbiolo grapes coming from “Gallina” hill in Neive district. It has a great ruby red color. The bouquet is intense and fruity, elegant and equilibrate. You can perceive jam, red ripen fruits, mixed berries and violet scents, with a long and persistent spiced background. The taste is rich and pleasant, tannic, dry and sapid. The after-taste is persistent. It is perfect with roasted or braised red meat, game and mature cheese. This wine has a great ageing potential.

All along Oddero family is owner of vineyards, so it is very difficult to establish a precise beginning of the wine making process. Lorenzo and Luigi started to produce wine at the end of 800, starting from their vineyards of La Morra. Giacomo Oddero, grandfather of the present manager of this cave, took part of the International Exposition of Torino in 1991, where he proposed his Barolo wine. Presently the winery is carried on by Mariacristina and Mariavittoria, who have inherited by their father the cult of wine and its origins.
