Costa di Bussia Barbera d'Alba, 2016

 

Vineyards for this wine are on the Bussia Hill near Monforte d'Alba, a beautiful area in the Piedmont hills. Donna and I spent several days at the estate's B&B in 2019.

Medium ruby, has lightened a bit over the last few years. Cherries, dark berries, earth, a touch of clove. Medium bodied, rich texture, characteristic Barbera acidity. This wine has spent some time in new oak but tannins have softened and ripe fruit is showing through. Delicious, medium long finish.
