Barolo Ravera “Bricco Pernice” DOCG 2014

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

Dark cherries, menthol, flowers and tar are just some of the classic notes in the complex bouquet of Bricco Pernice from the single vineyard Ravera. On the palate, the austere structure and the great power are joined by a fine inner sweetness. In the long finish memories of damp earth, dried herbs and wild flowers. SUPERIORE.DE

"Cardinal ruby with orange tinges. Savoury and distinctly minerally, still tight and compact on the nose. Immediate unity of savoury fruit, minerally and the directness and long, mouth-filling tannic tension that reminds me of Vigna Rionda. Really young, tightly wound and yet succulent." Jancis Robinson

"This has some good depth for 2014 with darker cherries delivering a stronger impression. The aromas of fresh fruit are lightly spiced and lead to a palate that has a firm and slightly chewy edge." James Suckling

"This red is juicy, offering cherry, raspberry, earth, tobacco and tar flavors. Dense tannins lend support as this stretches out nicely on the finish. Sleek and almost racy in style, with tobacco and mineral elements lingering." Wine Spectator

"The 2014 Barolo Ravera Bricco Pernice is full and soft with great fruit density. This is a nicely balanced wine that shows more intensity than I might have expected from this cool vintage that generally produced thinner wines in comparison. There is sweet, supple spice on the close. This elegant Barolo would go nicely with a beef and pork shank cassoulet. The wine has the fiber to age beautifully, but it will also show nicely in the medium-term, for those looking for a more accessible Barolo." Robert Parker

"The 2014 Barolo Bricco Pernice is vivid, precise and flat-out stunning. Like the best wines of the year, the Bricco Pernice is going to need a bit of time to be at its very best. I find the wine's inner perfume and sweetness to be utterly beguiling. At the same time, the Bricco Pernice remains taut, classically austere and in need of cellaring." Vinous
