Barbaresco docg Gallina La Spinetta 2015

The Barbaresco DOCG Gallina 2015 by La Spinetta comes from the renowned Gallina Cru in Neive, one of the most prestigious areas of the Barbaresco appellation. Made from 100% Nebbiolo grapes, it is an elegant and fascinating expression of Nebbiolo from the Langhe. In the glass, it shows an intense ruby-red colour with garnet reflections. The nose is broad and refined, offering aromas of red berries, wild berries and floral notes, complemented by delicate spicy and balsamic nuances. On the palate, it is full-bodied, harmonious and persistent, with velvety tannins, refreshing acidity and an important yet well-balanced structure. The finish is long and elegant, with fruity and delicate floral notes. The wine undergoes maceration and fermentation in temperature-controlled tanks for approximately 14–15 days, followed by malolactic fermentation in French oak barrels. It then matures in wood and subsequently in bottle, developing greater complexity and elegance over time.An important Barbaresco, perfect with braised meats, roasts, game, grilled red meats and traditional Piedmontese dishes. Excellent with aged cheeses and truffle-based dishes.
