The 2021 La Spinetta Barbaresco Gallina is a distinguished single-vineyard Barbaresco from the renowned Gallina cru in Neive, one of the most celebrated sites in the Barbaresco appellation. Produced by the acclaimed La Spinetta estate, this wine showcases the depth and elegance of Nebbiolo with aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry, rose petals and blood orange, layered with notes of spice, dried herbs and subtle earthy complexity.
On the palate, it is powerful yet beautifully refined, with vibrant acidity and finely structured tannins supporting flavours of sour cherry, red plum and savoury spice. The texture is concentrated and seamless, balancing richness with precision before leading to a long, dry finish with remarkable persistence and complexity.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding Barbaresco for collectors and Nebbiolo enthusiasts seeking a serious single-vineyard expression with exceptional ageing potential. Enjoy now with extended decanting or cellar over the next 15–20 years as further layers of complexity emerge. Pairs beautifully with truffle dishes, braised beef, roast duck, game meats and aged hard cheeses.
