2020 Crissante Alessandria "Galina" Barolo
93
Vinous
Review Date: 11/2023The 2020 Barolo Galina is another terrific wine in this range. It offers up macerated cherry, vanillin spice, new leather, licorice, incense and wild Chinato herbs, all in a style that marries power and finesse. This virile Barolo has a ton to offer. There is a real feeling of raciness here, likely a combination of southern exposure and picking on the later side for the year. This gorgeous, quirky wine has so much to offer. To be released in 2025. (AG)

Notes
From the historic Crissante Alessandria estate, the 2020 “Galina” Barolo is a wonderfully expressive and polished wine from this esteemed La Morra cru. Reflecting the warmth of the 2020 vintage, this Barolo is generous and approachable, yet retains a classic structure. The nose is rich and inviting, with aromas of ripe cherry, plum, and dried rose, layered with notes of sweet spice, licorice, and a hint of vanilla. On the palate, it’s medium-to-full-bodied, with a core of supple, dark fruit supported by velvety, well-integrated tannins and balancing acidity. The finish is long, smooth, and elegant. A beautifully crafted Barolo that offers both immediate pleasure and the ability to age gracefully.
