A delicious Barbaresco from a top house in Piedmont. Cogno is a leading Barolo producer who is so serious about the potential of the other great Nebbiolo village that they have decided — alongside other Barolo names like Massolino and Vietti — to release a Barbaresco as well. A rich and full, complex and spicy style, this a serious red to drink now or cellar.
Reviews for the 2109 vintage below…
96/100 Kerin O’ Keefe, Wine Enthusiast (2019 Vintage)
"Fragrant, focused and loaded with finesse, this impressive red opens with aromas of iris, red berry, spice and camphor. Elegantly structured and savoury, the vibrant palate features juicy raspberry, Morello cherry, star anise and wild mint framed in taut, finegrained tannins. Fresh acidity keeps it well balanced."
93/100 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (2019 Vintage)
"The Elvio Cogno 2019 Barbaresco Bordini hits all the right chords, striking at elegance, balance and a transparent approach that highlights the character of the vintage and this vineyard in Neive. This is a medium-bodied wine with polished tannins and a delicate flavour profile focused on wild berry, licorice and crushed stone."
