Roagna Barbaresco Gallina 2014

97 points Kerin O'Keefe (Wine Enthusiast): "Balsamic aromas of camphor mingle with red berry, underbrush and dark spice on this vibrant red. On the delicious, radiant palate, bright acidity and elegant tannins accompany raspberry compote, crushed strawberry and star anise before an orange zest finish. Drink 2021–2029. Alcohol 14%. (Sep 2020)"

95 points Monica Larner (Wine Advocate): "This is a new wine from the Roagna family, made with fruit from a leased parcel in Neive with calcareous sandy soils that help shape the aromatic purity and freshness on display here. The 2014 Barbaresco Gallina is delicately layered and bright, with cherry and wild berry aromas that peel off carefully to reveal crushed stone, licorice, wild rose and rosemary essence. Smooth and silky tannins build a delicate mouthfeel, and the wine offers pleasing acidic freshness. Production of this new release is approximately 2,400 bottles. Drink: 2023-2040. (7/23/20)"

95 points Bruce Sanderson (Wine Spectator): "Ripe, rich fruit matches the taut profile and dense tannins. Cherry, strawberry, juniper, olive, iron and menthol flavors build in intensity to a lingering aftertaste. A tightly wound, powerful version. Best from 2023 through 2045. 200 cases made. (4/30/20)"
