2011 Barolo Cascina Nuova, Elvio Cogno
Produced from some of the younger vines in Ravera, this is a terrific introduction to the Cru and to Cogno. Whilst relatively supple it remains serious, powerful and complex. There are notes of red cherry, mint and clove with round tannins and real volume. An unbelievable bargain, Valter told us he was already almost sold out: we reserved some quickly.
