The 2018 Piero Busso Barbaresco Gallina is a beautifully elegant and expressive Barbaresco from the renowned Gallina cru in Neive, crafted in a refined traditional style that highlights finesse, perfume and terroir expression. The nose reveals red cherry, dried rose and wild strawberry layered alongside orange peel, sweet spice and delicate earthy notes, giving the wine impressive fragrance and complexity.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with fine, chalky tannins, vibrant natural acidity and beautifully pure red berry fruit. Layers of cherry, cranberry and savoury spice are balanced by mineral freshness and subtle earthy depth, finishing long, poised and finely textured with excellent balance and maturity.
Ben’s Recommendation:
The 2018 Piero Busso Barbaresco Gallina is a wonderfully refined cru Barbaresco - elegant, savoury and beautifully detailed with classic Nebbiolo finesse. Perfect with truffle dishes, braised meats, mushroom risotto, roast duck or aged hard cheeses. Enjoy now with decanting or cellar through 2048+.
