One of the most reliable and affordable Verdicchio producer. It used to make just the one label you see here, but now they make another one from young vines and a rose if i am right.
I love the mineral expression of Matelica.
This came from a magnum. It was sensational, too easy too drink. It went so quickly you could miss what you were drinking and you could go back and keep asking...what was it? What was it?what was it?...and on and on and on....
I reckon when people think of a stereotype of good Italian wine this is what we should think of..at least i wish...Cheers!!! — 2 months ago

A m a z I n g. Fine furry tannins straight away so we decanted. One hour later this was singing. The nose was so pretty with cacao powder, faint sweet tarragon, and strawberries. Mouth coating raspberry fruit roll ups, smooth tannins makes this beautiful. TBL — 5 years ago

Different than I was expecting - much more floral and with a stronger boquet of lavender and violets than the leathery and dried tobacco. Dark cherry, medium tannin, some plum. — 8 years ago

The color of the Cantina del Pino “Gallina” Barbaresco, swear it, is “ruby squared”. While initially the nose was surprisingly muted, a quick decant seemed to turn the key to much greater depth. Stewed red fruits lead to a ‘growingly’ remarkable palate of bot power as well as finesse. While the tannins are obvious, evident, and young- it seems with every minute that goes by it relaxes. While doing so, revealing layer after layer of evolution and new experience. Like a lot of other Barbarescos: please be patient. Doing so will only reward you. — 6 months ago

Your grandmother lives in a far too cute rural cottage. You wake up in an antique timber cot, the house redolent with pot pourri. Mid morning sun pours through the broken screen door to an empty kitchen, where blackened steel pots are abundant, but no grandma. You push through the screen, to a wild, wild garden, overgrown with wildflowers, berries, citrus, tomato vines, and a cacophony of terracotta potted colour. Grandma beams in flowing Liberty print, nibbling a nasturtium, a mischievous twinkle in her eye. “Someone finally decided to wake up...” — 5 years ago

Rustic, countryside. Woodsy cherry, with sweet raisins, dates, and a cedar core. There are roses and tar and other dusty notes on the periphery.

Powerhouse of flavor, with grippy tannins and a little bit of heat (14.5%) on the swallow. — 4 months ago

Has a beautiful bouquet on the nose that prevails throughout its surprisingly long finish. Light bodied and a great alternative to some of the more common Italian varietals. — 3 years ago
