Boasting a pretty garnet hue, the 2010 Barolo Gallinotto offers sharp aromatic definition with a beautiful medley of spice, pressed cherry, cigar box and black licorice. This vintage is impressive on all fronts, from the overall balance of the wine to its fluid complexity and firm structure. Gallinotto shows some of the best qualities of Nebbiolo in 2010 (with 24 months in barrel). Drink: 2017-2030.
