Roagna Barbaresco Gallina 2018

A magnificent Northern Italian red wine displaying a brilliant garnet color. The complex nose opens with an intense bouquet of wild red fruits and dried roses, layered with star anise, mint, orange peel, and earthy minerals. On the palate, it balances incredible depth of fruit and vibrant acidity with dense, beautifully integrated tannins.

Food Pairing: Pairs flawlessly with slow-roasted veal chops, wild boar ragu, white truffle risotto, and aged cheeses like Parmigiano-Reggiano.

94 Points - Wine Spectator 

Balsamic elements of eucalyptus, juniper and rosemary mingle with cherry and raspberry in this intense red, which is tightly wound and dense, with assertive, dusty tannins and a long, iron-infused finish. Best from 2026 through 2043. 326 cases made.
