The vines sit at 240 metres on a low twisting ridge opposite Albesani, facing south-west towards the river in a windy microclimate, on limestone-rich Sant'Agata marl with sandy and calcareous layers. From 2015 Piero began separating the oldest vines for this Riserva; the soil in that part of the vineyard is rich in bluish-grey calcareous clay with some sand. The fruit macerates for up to sixty days under a submerged cap, then the wine spends 36 months in large Slavonian oak casks and a further 36 months in bottle. Busso describes Gallina as the softer, more charming of his Riservas, with sweeter tannins than the Albesani.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApproachable now with a decant, and built to keep for a decade or more. Serve at 16-18°C with braised beef cheek, agnolotti del plin or a mature Castelmagno.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e*Every effort is made to ensure the current vintage is accurate; however, variations can occur.
