Saturday, November 2, 2019 - Nebbiolos, white truffles, Volume IV (Chicago, IL): The "lowly" Barbaresco, served next to the 1979 Gallina, doesn't have quite the same purity of fruit. It is nevertheless a fairly impressive wine, showing a nice ripeness to the fruit, and a bit of a wispier, lighter style than the 1974 Gaja as well. The acidity is a little prominent here, but overall the wine is in good balance. Like the Gaja, this is a fully resolved wine, with very little upside from further aging.
