Barbaresco Bordini DOCG 2015

Elvio Cogno | Piedmont
Elvio Cogno Soc. Agr. s.s. | Loc. Ravera 2 | IT 12060 Novello

Cognos Barbaresco from the top vineyard Bordini is a centred and firm Nebbiolo, which is rather one of the stronger representatives of the appellation. However, it only reveals its great aromatic potential at second glance: Cherry, blackberry, hints of spices and a little freshly chopped mint. Then some speculoos, walnuts, salty tones and tobacco. Acidity and tannin form a perfect symbiosis and at the same time the backbone of this impressive Barbaresco, which will be a pleasure for many years. SUPERIORE.DE

"A top note of mint augments the cherry, strawberry, eucalyptus and tar flavors in this austere red. Assertive tannins gird the finish, yet this remains long and finds equilibrium in the end." Wine Spectator

"Aromas of cherries, cream and roses follow through to a medium body with beautifully depth of fruit and a long, fine tannin structure. Hard to not drink now. Better in 2020, but it’s already beautiful." James Suckling

"Although Cogno are better known for their Barolos, they also produce a Barbaresco from 1ha in Neive. The nose is still muted, with discreet raspberry aromas. The palate is fresh, vibrant and concentrated, showing zest as well as weight. There's plenty of energy and drive here, followed by a long, forceful finish." Decanter

"Compelling aromas of fragrant blue flower, red berry, crushed herb, new leather and tilled earth shape the nose. On the savory, full-bodied palate, taut, fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity frame flavors of ripe Marasca cherry, raspberry compote, licorice and tobacco. It's young but already boasts a fantastic combination of elegance and structure." Wine Enthusiast
