Negro Giuseppe 2013 Gallina (Barbaresco)

Country: Italy / Gallina
Variety: Nebbiolo Piedmont
Winery: Negro Giuseppe / Barbaresco

Intense rose, iris and aromatic herb aromas are the highlight of this wine. The palate isn’t as expressive, offering raw sour cherry, powdered sage and excruciatingly astringent tannins that dry out the mouth. It lacks the fruit richness needed to stand up to the oak.
