"The 2021 Barbaresco Gallina is a gorgeous, understated wine from this site in Neive. Soft contours wrap around a core of vibrant red-toned fruit. Time in the glass brings out the wine's energy and mid-palate core. All the elements are beautifully woven together. Ripe, plush tannins add to the wine's sensual feel. The Gallina is the most approachable of the single-vineyard Barbarescos today." -Antonio Galloni

"This is a limited release of 1,800 bottles. The Cantina del Pino 2021 Barbaresco Gallina is balanced and structured with chalky tannins and a powerful 15% alcohol content. The Gallina vineyard sits at 250 meters in elevation with limestone marl and silty soils. I like the way this wine comes together on the nose to show intensity and varietal character." -Monica Larner

"Opening with aromas of dark berries and black plums accented by sweet spices and wild herbs this wine pours from the glass. The wine's identity shines through with distinctive mineral notes of crushed rock as more generous wild berries define the palate. It maintains the appellation's character while offering a fruit-forward expression that celebrates the site's generous nature. Drink Now - 2040" -Jeff Porter

"Forest floor, camphor, new leather and dog rose aromas lift out of the glass. Full-bodied but endowed with a weightless finesse, the elegantly structured palate delivers succulent red cherry, tangy blood orange, star anise and ground clove alongside taut, fine-grained tannins. Bright acidity keeps it fresh and dances across the palate. Drink 2029–2036." -Kerin O'Keefe
