Note di degustazione
The 2005 Barbaresco Gallina has developed lovely tertiary notes since I last tasted it a few years back. Leather, smoke, tobacco, licorice and game meld into a core of intense dark fruit. As it so often does, the Gallina has a way of putting on considerable weight in bottle. The 2005 is now close to fully mature, and, while there is no upside in holding bottles further, the wine has enough depth to hold on for at least another handful of years.

The 2005 Barbaresco Riserva Gallina (magnum) has come together beautifully since it was bottled. The tannins have begun to soften, while the flavors are just now beginning to show the first signs of tertiary complexity. Hints of tobacco, new leather, spices and menthol wrap around the fruit-driven finish.
The 2005 Barbaresco Gallina is an especially successful wine in this vintage. As soft, caressing core of fruit provides striking balance to the wine's tannins. Notes of super-ripe red cherries, sweet herbs, roses and toasted oak emerge from this medium-bodied Barbaresco. As is usually the case, the Gallina is the most forward of the Spinetta Barbarescos, and this is a beautiful effort, particularly in this vintage.

Giorgio Rivetti has another set of very solid wines on his hands with his 2005 Barbarescos. The wines have always shown terrific balance and are just a notch or two below his 2004s.
