Crissante Alessandria Barolo Galina 2021

Crissante Alessandria Barolo Galina 2021 is a poised, terroir-driven Nebbiolo from one of Piedmont’s most revered appellations. Crafted from the Galina cru, it offers the tension, perfume, and structure that make Barolo one of Italy’s most celebrated fine wines.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a bright garnet hue with ruby reflections, a classic sign of youthful Barolo. The nose is elegant and layered, with rose petals, sour cherry, red berries, and hints of licorice, tobacco, spice, and forest floor. On the palate, expect a firm yet refined structure, vibrant acidity, and the finely grained tannins that give Nebbiolo its hallmark grip. The finish is long and mineral, with savoury complexity that should deepen beautifully with time in bottle. While approachable in its youth with patience, this wine has strong aging potential and can evolve for many years.

Production
Barolo Galina comes from Piedmont’s limestone- and clay-influenced hills, where Nebbiolo benefits from excellent exposure, cool nights, and slow ripening conditions that preserve freshness and aromatic precision. Grapes are typically harvested by hand to ensure only healthy fruit is selected, and vinification aims to respect the varietal character and site expression. The result is a wine shaped by traditional Barolo structure, with careful extraction and maturation designed to highlight elegance, depth, and ageworthiness.

Food & Serving
This is an excellent match for classic Piedmont dishes such as braised beef, osso buco, truffle risotto, wild mushroom pasta, and aged hard cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 1–2 hours if drinking young to help open the aromas and soften the tannins.
