2021 Barolo Ravera, Elvio Cogno

2021 Barolo Ravera, Elvio Cogno

From 2 plots, one of 60 year old vines and the other of 80 year old vines. The clones are around 60% Nebbiolo Lampia and 40% Nebbiolo Michet. It is quite a powerful wine which opens with a note of spearmint and aniseed. Around 20% stems used for fermentation. This is a beautiful wine with a very cool, sanguine and mineral note. Supple with a little wild herb spice, the finish is effortlessly long.

Tasting notes

These vineyards in Novello open to the Alps and an exceptional panorama. The Elvio Cogno 2021 Barolo Ravera is made with the Lampia and Michet clones of Nebbiolo. The wine offers a distinct character with iron ore and crushed stone behind dark fruit and pressed rose. I also get a hint of exotic spice in this gorgeous wine. This is a 14,000-bottle release.

Lustrous mid ruby with orange tinges. Intense stony notes over oatmeal and red fruit. Needs time to open up, but already showing real class. Fullness and elegance at the same time. Transparent and still a little curled up, with a charge of fine, persistent tannins that build up on the finish. Beautiful lightness of touch, while the tannins need a bit more time.
