Description
“A beam of pure cherry and raspberry permeates this intense red, while rose, black pepper, graphite and herbs add detail. Shows terrific harmony, with an extra gear on the finale adding dimension and length. Solid tannins guard the finish. Best from 2029 through 2048.” 96 points, Bruce Sanderson Wine Spectator March 2026
“This is a limited release of 1,800 bottles. The Cantina del Pino 2021 Barbaresco Gallina is balanced and structured with chalky tannins and a powerful 15% alcohol content. The Gallina vineyard sits at 250 meters in elevation with limestone marl and silty soils. I like the way this wine comes together on the nose to show intensity and varietal character. 2026-2042.” 95+ points, Monica Larner, The Wine Advocate Jun 2025
“Pouring a bright, transparent ruby color, the 2021 Barbaresco Gallina is elegant, perfumed, and all class, with notes of pomegranate, sweet herbs, and floral perfume. Medium-bodied, it is zesty and fresh, with a powdery, elegant texture to the tannins, balanced acidity, and a floating finish. It's highly charming and ready to drink now or over the next 12-15 years. Drink 2026-2040.” 94 points, Audrey Frick JebDunnuck.com Apr 2026
‘Neive. Just mid ruby. Peppery, sweet red-fruit nose with hints of tea leaves. Youthful, compact red fruit on a thick layer of chewy, tasty tannins. Elegant constitution and firmly structured. Needs more age and deserves it. Walter Speller’ 17+ Points JancisRobinson.com June 2025
