The Gallino Filippo 2015 Barbera d'Alba DOC Bonora represents a captivating interpretation of one of Piedmont’s most emblematic varieties. This full-bodied red wine, with an alcohol content of 15°, reveals itself as powerful and structured right from the start. The 2015 harvest was characterized by favorable weather, allowing the grapes to develop into perfect ripeness, resulting in an extraordinary aromatic load.
In the glass, the wine displays a deep ruby red color, while on the nose it opens with a rich and complex bouquet, with notes of ripe berries, such as blackberries and cherries, accompanied by hints of sweet spices and a touch of vanilla from oak aging. On the palate, the Gallino Filippo offers a soft and enveloping texture, supported by well-integrated tannins and a freshness that stimulates the taste buds, leading to a long and harmonious finish.
Ideal for pairing with typical dishes of Piedmontese cuisine, such as tajarin with ragù or braised beef in Barolo, this Barbera d'Alba also lends itself to bolder pairings, anticipating an excellent combination with aged cheeses or game. A wine that tells the story of its land of origin, definitely one to discover and savor.
