About this wine

La Spinetta’s Gallina 2019 comes from a prime south-facing slope in Neive, one of the estate’s flagship Barbaresco crus. The wine marries concentrated cherry and cassis fruit with floral notes, sweet tobacco and a faint earthy, truffley edge. The texture is suave and layered, with ripe tannins that are firm enough for ageing but already beautifully integrated. There’s real depth and precision here, but also a supple, almost creamy feel that makes the wine very seductive in youth. A long, savoury, gently spicy finish underlines the pedigree of both site and producer.

La Spinetta

Recognized for bold, modern styling anchored in serious vineyard work. La Spinetta produces expressive Barolo and Barbaresco marked by ripe fruit, polished tannins, and refined oak management. Attention to detail in both vineyard and cellar results in wines that are powerful yet precise. A strong choice for drinkers who enjoy richness with discipline.
