Gallina lies at 240 metres in Neive on a ridge opposite Albesani; in this part of the vineyard the soil is rich in bluish-grey calcareous clay marl with a proportion of sand. Piero Busso describes the wine as having more depth, structure and enveloping fruit than the younger-vine cuvée, and the winemaking is scaled to match: maceration for up to sixty days under a submerged cap, then 36 months in large Slavonian oak casks and a further 36 months in bottle before release. The result is an old-school Barbaresco, dark and tightly wound on opening, that unwinds towards florals and red fruit with air. The magnum format slows its development further.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt for the cellar; give it a decade in magnum, or several hours of air if opening now. Serve at 16-18°C with braised beef, hare ragù or aged Parmigiano.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e*Every effort is made to ensure the current vintage is accurate; however, variations can occur.
