Costa di Bussia 2011 Vigna Campo del Gatto (Barbera d’Alba)

Country: Italy / Piedmont
Variety: Barbera
Winery: Costa di Bussia / Vigna Campo del Gatto

Aromas of scorched earth, game, burned rubber and a funky whiff of barnyard waft out of the glass and carry over to the dense palate along with raisin, fig, licorice and a gamy note. It’s rustic and extremely evolved with an abrupt, bitter finish.
