Score 89/100 · Drink 2013-2015, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Oct 2006

The brooding Barbaresco Valeirano is fuller and richer, with plenty of fruit, smoke and earth notes as well as bigger and distinctly more masculine personality. Although it too shows the hard tannins of the vintage it offers better overall balance than the Gallina.

The brooding 2003 Barbaresco Valeirano is full and rich, with plenty of fruit, smoke and earth notes as well as a bigger and distinctly more masculine personality. Although it shows the hard tannins of the vintage, it offers better overall balance than the Gallina. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2015.
