The 2013 Barbaresco Riserva Vigneto Gallina remains pretty potent, almost uncharacteristically so for La Spinetta's softest Barbaresco. Dark cherry/plum fruit, spice, leather, tobacco and torrefaction notes inform this decidedly muscular Barbaresco. From magnum, I would still give this more time. The long, substantial finish is pretty remarkable for a ten year-old wine.

The 2013 Barbaresco Gallina Vürsù offers a tight brickwork of aromas with toned muscle and solid build at the back. The bouquet shows profound tones of dark fruit, spice, leather, tobacco, crushed stone and tar. La Spinetta's signature style, with more pronounced aromas, is very much on display in this wine.
