Elvio Cogno – Barolo Ravera – 2016

Elvio Cogno is now one of the most renowned wineries for the production of Barolo, but the road has not been so easy. Born in 1936 with the great dream of producing great Barolos, but only after years of experience and collaboration with other wineries, in the 1980s he managed to buy a farmhouse in Novello right above the Ravera vineyard. Finally, in the 1990s, thanks also to the arrival of his daughter Nadia and brother-in-law Walter, the first Barolo label “Ravera”, one of the most important crus in the municipality of Novello, was released. The philosophy of the company is absolutely traditional, with the exclusive use of large oak barrels and respect for the land, enhancing the characteristics of the soil in the wines, creating austere wines with a great evolutionary capacity over time.
The Barolo Ravera di novello comes from a soil rich in clay, treated like a jewel in the vineyard, and with an aging of at least 24 months in large wooden barrels. The result? a very pleasant Barolo, rich in aromas of violet and tar and spices, with a dry mouth and persistent tannins. To be kept absolutely over time.
In 2016 the wine is super balanced, thanks to the potential of this vintage. With character and fresh. To keep.
