The family estate of Piero Busso is a leading name in Barbaresco for its dedication in reflecting the natural elegance of Nebbiolo from Neive. Nebbiolo sourced from cru ‘Gallina’ are said to be some of Neive’s roundest and approachable Barbaresco wines. In the hands of the Busso family, ‘Gallina’ takes on silky curves and delivers wave after wave of rose-kissed, ruddy fruit. Another bottle that is beautiful from the get-go and will age gracefully in a cool cellar.

The 2018 Barbaresco Gallina is the most open-knit and forward of the three 2018 Barbarescos I tasted. Ripeness feels a bit pushed here, but it works nicely within the style of the wine. Super-ripe red cherry, sweet pipe tobacco, orange peel and exotic spice overtones build effortlessly as the Gallina shows off its racy, flamboyant personality. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, October 2022)
