Barbaresco Gallina 2018 Ceretto

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (93)

A new discovery from Ceretto, the 2018 Barbaresco Gallina reveals a tight, silky fiber with lots of gloss and shine to its fruit. This expression from Gallina, in the village of Neive, reveals some extra ripeness, with black cherry confit and a touch of dark plum. I found that fruit-forward ripeness across much of this vintage in Barbaresco, but in the case of this wine, there is plenty of fiber, structure and acidity to balance it out.

Very floral and fresh with cherry, plum and some strawberry. It’s full-bodied with firm, chewy tannins and dark fruit. Some smoke and wet earth, too. Pretty finish. This is tight and structured. New wine from Ceretto and only 0.31 hectares. Tiny. From organically grown grapes.

Glänzendes, mitteldichtes Granatrot. Fein gezeichnete Nase mit Noten nach Rhabarber, Himbeere, etwas Blutorange. Kerniges Tannin am Gaumen, schöne Himbeernote auch am Gaumen, saftig, mit gutem Druck.
