Note di degustazione
This is a beautiful wine and one that I preferred (ever so slightly) over the Barbaresco Starderi Vürsù of the same vintage. The 2014 Barbaresco Gallina Vürsù is especially elegant and fine, rendering the idea that its future evolution has a long way to go. That profound elegance continues to the palate where the wine wraps softly over the senses. That fine, but equally powerful nature of the wine's textural richness is what stands out most here. The mouthfeel is just fantastic.

The 2014 Barbaresco Vigneto Gallina is a very beautiful, gracious wine. All it needs is time to absorb the French oak. Expressive aromatics, silky fruit and understated persistence are all evident, while the flavors are vivid and beautifully delineated throughout. Medium in body and gracious to the core, the Gallina is very pretty in 2014. Time and experience have taught me that the Gallina is often the most gracious of La Spinetta's three Barbarescos in aging.
La Spinetta's 2014 Barbaresco Vigneto Gallina is super-polished and refined. Sweet floral notes meld crystalline bright red stone fruit in a mid-weight, nuanced Barbaresco long on polish and class. Rose petal, bright red stone fruit, French oak and mint overtones develop nicely in the glass. The 2014 finishes with terrific energy and a sense of classic Nebbiolo austerity that is one of the signatures of the vintage. Historically, Gallina is the least impressive of the Spinetta Barbarescos, and yet it has proven to have the most consistent track record of aging.
