Elvio Cogno Barbaresco Bordini DOCG 2021
$120.00
Volume: 750ml
Ruby red in color with subtle garnet highlights. Particularly refined on the nose, harmonious and complex, with aromas of ripe small fruits and violets, typical of Nebbiolo, with sweet spicy notes. Enveloping tannins, great elegance, and excellent length on the palate.
Notes:
Completing the product line is another great expression of the Nebbiolo grape: like the other wines from Casa Cogno, this Barbaresco is elegant and structured, yet possesses a remarkable autonomy of character. This isn’t a Barbaresco that seeks to imitate its cousin Barolo, but rather a wine that respects its full and strong identity, both in the vineyard and in the cellar. This is the countertrend of a Barolo producer who has approached Barbaresco, a wine usually kept at a distance, sensing the opportunity to measure himself and compete with a historic wine, also a supreme expression of the Langhe region. This wine is the result of a valuable collaboration with a friend and producer from Neive, who has enabled the Cogno family to embark on this new, small adventure.
