The 2008 Barolo Vigna Gallinotto emphasizes up-front fruit and an accessible, juicy personality. It shows fine overall balance but a little less complexity than the very best wines in this vintage. Crushed flowers, mint and tobacco are woven together nicely on the long, focused finish. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2023.
