The 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.
