Roagna's mastery extends beyond Barolo to the elegant slopes of Barbaresco. The Gallina vineyard in Neive is renowned for producing Barbaresco of exceptional finesse and aromatic complexity, with slightly calcareous soils that lend a distinctive mineral quality. True to the Roagna philosophy, this wine sees extended maceration and long aging in large Slavonian oak casks, allowing the Nebbiolo to develop without the influence of new oak. The result is Barbaresco of purity and transparency—floral aromatics, fine-grained tannins, and a persistent mineral finish. While more approachable than their Barolos, this still demands patience.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 93
"The 2020 Barbaresco Gallina is the most open-knit of the Barbarescos in Luca Roagna's range. Crushed flowers, mint, kirsch, sweet red cherry and cinnamon all life from the glass. Soft, silky contours add to the wine's considerable charms. Readers will have a hard time keeping their hands off this jewel of a wine." -Antonio Galloni

Wine Spectator

WS 95
"There’s ample ripe fruit and a supple texture in this fluid red, featuring cherry, strawberry, rhubarb, mineral, tar and underbrush flavors. Vibrant and long, this is elegant overall, the driving acidity defining its linear profile."

Kerin O'Keefe

WE 96
"You can just get lost in the nose on the intensely fragrant Roagna 2020 Gallina thanks to its scents of blue flower, pine forest, wild berry and dark spice. The palate is all about elegance, featuring tart cherry, bitter orange, licorice, wild herb and truffle. It's well balanced, with fresh acidity that keeps it lifted and polished tannins. Drink through 2035." -Kerin O'Keefe
