2018 Barbera d'Alba Pre-Phylloxera, Elvio Cogno

2018 Barbera d'Alba Pre-Phylloxera, Elvio Cogno

Perhaps the ultimate expression of Barbera, this is a remarkable wine. It comes from a quarter of a hectare of 120 year-old vines, still on their own rootstocks. It is incredibly complex, with notes of cumin and other exotic spices, alongside a dark core of mulberry and dark chocolate. Intense, long, and spectacularly mineral, it will age brilliantly.
