Revello Fratelli 2011 Gattera (Barolo)

Country: Italy / Gattera
Variety: Nebbiolo Piedmont
Winery: Revello Fratelli / Barolo

This has aromas of overripe black-skinned fruit, scorched earth and a funky whiff of barnyard. The rustic sensation carries over to the palate along with a bitter note. It lacks fruit richness while grainy tannins leave an abrupt, astringent finish. Tried twice and had the same notes.
