Note di degustazione
Roses, black cherry, furry tannin, some medicinal notes – every inch the classic Barolo. Still quite compact and dense, with bitterness to finish. (RH)

Pale crimson. Heady with very pure aromas. Super-clean perfume and dry on the end but admirably fresh. (JR)
The Elvio Cogno 2012 Barolo Ravera sees fruit sourced from a single vineyard that spans from Barolo to the nearby Novello township (where the winery is located). The wine follows faithfully in the house style that sees an impeccable, albeit very opulent and bold aromatic profile. This wine lives up to the Cogno promise of rich, luscious fruit flavors with bold cherry, spice, leather and tobacco. Delicate tones of cola, truffle and licorice give lift at the back. The tannins are young and show some astringent tightness that needs extra time to integrate.
Novello. Just ruby with orange tinges. Savoury beef stock nose. Very elegant palate weight and structure, just not very fruit-driven at this moment. Brooding and embryonic. (WS)
