Delightfully fresh with a golden glow of muted fruit, light, lemon citrus melon but nice acidity to keep it clean excellent with a chicken in garlic and white wine, cream sauce with Calabrese chilies — 6 months 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. — 5 months ago
Again a surprisingly well aged and very lively and fancy texture. — 9 months ago
Very nice Primitivo from the Puglia/Salento region. Dark ruby color. Paires wonderfully with Southern Italian food, but will go well with a variety of foods. Drank November 2025 — 5 months ago
Dark plum, tobacco and other deep@fruit flavors rounded out with medium level tannins that make this more Sangiovese like than zin. — 8 months ago
