The Parroco di Neive 1976 Barbaresco DOCG Gallina is a wine that embodies the winemaking tradition of the Langhe, a true gem of Piedmont. Coming from a historical background and a terroir that tells tales of silence and hard work, this wine presents itself with a deep garnet color, a sign of well-orchestrated aging. On the nose, it releases complex and elegant aromas: notes of ripe berries, such as cherries and raspberries, intertwine with more mature hints of dried plum and a light spiciness of black pepper and tobacco. The floral notes of wilted rose and violet add a touch of delicate sweetness.
On the palate, the Parroco di Neive 1976 reveals itself as powerful and structured, with silky tannins that provide extraordinary softness. The freshness is incredibly balanced by the complexity of the fruit, creating a perfect harmony that invites you to take another sip. The finish is long and persistent, leaving a delicate aftertaste of dark chocolate and spices.
Perfectly paired with rich dishes, such as a braised Barbaresco or a porcini mushroom risotto, this wine is also an ideal companion for aged and spicy cheeses. A wine for contemplation, it tells stories of an extraordinary land and memorable vintages. The Parroco di Neive is more than just a wine; it is a sensory experience deeply rooted in a culture intertwined with land and community. With every sip, one can sense the waiting and patience, the art of winemaking manifesting in a unique and unrepeatable taste.
