Oddero - Gallina Barbaresco 2020
Oddero Description
Ageing in 40Hl oak barrels - hectoliter French and Austrian oak barrels. Bottling takes place at the end of the summer, with a further six months of bottle ageing before release on the market.
Barbaresco Gallina is typically elegant with its refined bouquet and palate, and assertive tannins. It is the expression of a marl soil rich in fine sand. Red in colour with pale garnet tinges. Particular finesse in the bouquet, with balance and complexity, scents of ripe red fruit, spices and violets (typical of Nebbiolo). Mouth-filling tannins, excellent persistence on the palate.
Wine Advocate: 94 Points
The 2020 Barbaresco Gallina shows lean concentration and a luminous ruby appearance. The bouquet is beautiful with a sweet cherry tone that rises above crushed limestone, blue flower and blood orange. There is a dry or almost dusty side to the wine that you feel on the palate especially, but the overall impression it leaves is one of subdued elegance and finesse. This is a special wine with 6,000 bottles released.
Vinous Media: 92 Points
The 2020 Barbaresco Gallina is a very delicate, elegant wine that shows the finessed side of this Nieve cru. Sweet floral and spice notes meld into a core of red/purplish fruit. Clean mineral notes extend to the finish effortlessly. More than anything else, the Gallina is a wine of harmony and finesse more than size. Gorgeous.
