Monica Larner - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
With mineral notes, flint, bright cherry, waxy lipstick, red fruits instead of dark fruits and fragrant rose, this is a multifaceted Nebbiolo. The Oddero 2021 Barbaresco Gallina remains fruit-driven and floral too, and it's graciously not weighed down by oak spice or toast. In fact, it reveals angular and focused tones throughout. It offers good complexity and tannins that need food. Production is 6,000 bottles.
