Elvio Cogno
2018 Elvio Cogno, Barolo, Cascina Nuova 6x75cl
"“The 2018 Barolo Cascina Nuova is fine-tuned with plenty of wild berry, cassis, grilled herb and crushed stone. The aromas are quite classic for Nebbiolo, but what stands out here is the... directness and freshness with which they are delivered. The tannins are tucked carefully inside the smooth, silky character of this elegant wine. 20,000 bottles were produced.” 93 pts., Monica Larner, robertparker.com

2018 Elvio Cogno, Barolo, Ravera 6x75cl
“The Elvio Cogno 2018 Barolo Ravera is becoming one of the most important wines in Novello, and it performs very nicely in this more challenging vintage. In fact, 2018 helps to cement Ravera's... steadfast reputation precisely because it performs so well despite spells of humidity and heat. The wine shows small-berry detailing with rust and crushed stone at the back. There is a point of bitterness that accompanies the tannins of this full-bodied wine. Production is 15,000 bottles.” 94 pts., Monica Larner, robertparker.com

2020 Elvio Cogno, Barbera d’Alba, Pre-Phylloxera 6x75cl
“It has a dark, brilliant ruby red color with intense violet reflections. The aromas are enveloping, harmonious and deep, with evident spicy notes at the first impact and fruity notes of raspberry,... strawberry and ripe cherry. Pleasant harmonies of wildflowers on the finish. In the mouth the wine has a great structure, fresh and with excellent acidity and great balance, with an enveloping tannic texture, with flavors that recall black cherry, blackberry and plum.” (Winemaker's tasting note)
