Tasting notes

With fruit from Neive, the La Spinetta 2018 Barbaresco Gallina is packaged in a heavy glass bottle. The wine is extremely polished and tight, especially at this young stage, with a beautiful blend of wild berry, grilled herb, blue flower, and crushed stone aromas. What is remarkable here is that no element feels out of place. These different characteristics work harmoniously together to create lasting balance, and it is expected that this sensation will become even more pronounced as the wine gains more bottle age.

About this wine

La Spinetta's Gallina represents the pinnacle of Barbaresco DOCG winemaking from Piedmont's renowned Langhe hills. Crafted from Nebbiolo grapes, this medium-bodied red wine embodies the region's prestigious terroir, delivering pronounced intensity with elegant floral and herbaceous notes layered over a distinctive stony minerality. The 13.5% alcohol provides perfect balance, allowing the wine's complexity to shine without overwhelming the palate.

La Spinetta has established itself as one of Italy's most respected producers, known for meticulous vineyard management and traditional winemaking techniques that honor Barbaresco's noble heritage. The Gallina cuvée showcases the producer's commitment to quality and authenticity, capturing the essence of these historic vineyard sites where Nebbiolo has thrived for generations.

This versatile red pairs beautifully with a diverse range of dishes: aged cheeses like Gruyère and Cheddar, grilled and roasted meats including lamb and beef, rich pasta preparations, mushroom-based dishes, and aromatic spice-forward cuisine. Its structure and depth also complement charcuterie boards and cured meats, making it an ideal choice for sophisticated entertaining in villa, yacht, or fine dining settings.
