About this wine

Galina is a historic cru near La Morra that Crissante vinifies separately to showcase its distinct character. The 2020 Barolo Galina is described by merchants as intensely coloured, with aromas of cherry, dark berries and dried roses, plus subtle spice and earthy notes. On the palate it is full and structured, with firm but ripe tannins and a long, savoury finish. The estate emphasises a mostly traditional vinification with long fermentations, pump-overs and manual punch-downs, and ageing in a balanced mix of small, medium and large oak, bringing together clarity of fruit and classic Barolo complexity.

Crissante

Crissante is a family domaine in La Morra, farming key crus like Capalot and Galina. Their wines tend toward a classic Barolo profile: fragrant Nebbiolo with red fruit, roses and spice, supported by firm but civilised tannins. Traditional vinification and thoughtful oak use give bottles that are approachable yet capable of meaningful aging.
