Bel Colle Barbaresco Gallina 2021

Bel Colle Barbaresco Gallina 2021 is a refined expression of Nebbiolo from one of Barbaresco’s most prized crus, where the Gallina site brings exceptional precision, finesse, and depth. Made in the heart of Piemonte, it reflects both the pedigree of the appellation and the character of a terroir long celebrated for producing wines of remarkable elegance and longevity.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this Barbaresco typically shows a transparent garnet-red hue, a hallmark of Nebbiolo, with delicate brick tones beginning to appear as it evolves. The nose is likely to unfold with layers of red cherry, rose petal, dried herbs, and subtle spice, followed by earthy and mineral nuances that speak to the Gallina vineyard. On the palate, expect a graceful yet structured wine with fine tannins, bright acidity, and a core of red berry fruit balanced by savory complexity. While already expressive in youth, it has the structure to age beautifully over the next 8 to 15 years, gaining further nuance and softness with time.

Production
Barbaresco Gallina DOCG comes from a terroir especially well suited to producing wines of distinction, with marl-rich soils and fine sand that help shape aromatic finesse and tension. The vineyard combines younger and older vines, including plantings dating back around 50 years, contributing both freshness and concentration to the final wine. Harvested from this carefully balanced site and vinified to preserve the purity of Nebbiolo, the result is a wine that faithfully expresses its origin.

Food & Serving
This Barbaresco is an excellent partner for rich Piedmontese dishes such as risotto with porcini, tajarin with truffle, braised veal, roast duck, or aged cheeses. Serve it at around 16-18°C, and consider decanting for 1-2 hours if drinking young to allow the aromatics and tannins to open fully.
