Barbaresco Gallina 2006 Oddero
The Barbaresco Gallina 2006 by Oddero is a remarkable expression of Nebbiolo, sourced from the prestigious Gallina cru in Neive, one of the finest terroirs in the Barbaresco appellation. The vineyard sits on marl-rich soils with a high percentage of fine sand, which enhances the wine’s finesse and elegance.
In the glass, it displays a deep ruby red color with delicate garnet reflections, revealing its graceful evolution. The nose is layered and complex, offering ripe red fruits, wild berries, and delicate violet floral notes, a signature of Nebbiolo. These aromas are complemented by spicy undertones, with hints of sweet tobacco and leather, adding further depth and refinement.
On the palate, this Barbaresco is full-bodied and perfectly balanced, with velvety yet structured tannins that create a smooth and harmonious mouthfeel. The wine’s vibrant acidity and sapid character enhance its richness, leading to a long and persistent finish, leaving an elegant and lasting impression.
Aged for 2 years in oak barrels and 6 months in bottle, this wine is ready to enjoy now but also has excellent aging potential. Its structure and depth make it an ideal companion for braised meats, game, and aged cheeses, showcasing the timeless craftsmanship and heritage of Oddero’s historic winery.
