Power and elegance on the palate, with thick, sweet tannins. The Gallina hill faces the Albesani hill, and the difference shows in aromas and structure.
Tasting notes
Garnet red, harmonious on the nose. Notes of violet and undergrowth with spicy hints. Smooth tannic texture. Very long, persistent finish.
