La Spinetta, Barbaresco Gallina other_regions serious and beautifully long ifMedium red. Aromatic, expressive aromas of cherry, rose petal, orange peel and minerals. Juicy, bright and gripping, but still in a distinctly fruity style. Substantial building tannins coat the teeth and give the finish a youthfully aggressive quality.
