Montegrilli is a declaration of love to the Langhe terroir and a deliberately chosen distance from the house's Barolo style: no woody notes, instead the focus is on pure Nebbiolo purity. The grapes come from a vineyard of just 1.4 hectares in the Ravera zone near Novello. They ripen on sandy, calcareous soil under the sun of the southern slopes, in a microcosm that ensures immediate, elegant freshness. After manual harvesting, fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel, followed by eight months of ageing in steel.

Bright ruby red with a delicate orange rim. Fine notes of wild strawberry flesh, subtle white pepper, rose petals and fresh summer flowers open up on the nose. Light, supple and yet juicy on the palate: clear fruit, lively acidity and a graceful lightness. The wine is individual and expressive - a young Nebbiolo that is immediately enjoyable and shows the noble grape variety and origin in focussed form. SUPERIORE.DE

"Light, almost transparent ruby red colour. Elegant bouquet of mulberries and ripe cherries, with a hint of roses and roasted almonds. Soft on the palate with sweet, melting fruit, velvety tannins, round structure and beautiful length." Falstaff

"The Elvio Cogno 2023 Langhe Nebbiolo Montegrilli has a fun bouquet that shows cooked pears with cloves in the skin, Christmas spices, cinnamon and dark fruits. The flavours are quite intense, but the wine is lean and fresh on the palate." Wine Advocate

"Lively aromas of spicy raspberries, orange blossom and nutmeg tempt you to take a sip. The palate is lean, with grenadine and sumac berries. Light, biting tannins play well with the delicious crispness. Simply delicious!" Decanter
