Elvio Cogno

Barbera d'Alba mit viel Frucht, ausdrucksstarken Aromen nach Menthol, Kiefer, Leder und exotischen Gewürzen - bestens strukturiert. Herausragendes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. (superiore.de)

Der Langhe Montegrilli, ein reinsortiger Nebbiolo, verströmt in seinem Duft und am Gaumen wunderbare, kräftige Fruchtaromen, dazu etwas Rosenblätter mit einem Hauch Vanille. Ein köstlicher Wein zwischen Tradition und Moderne mit der typischen Eleganz der Cogno-Weine. (superiore.de)

"The 2016 Langhe Nebbiolo Montegrilli is a terrific wine that faithfully represents the best of Nebbiolo, without the extra bells or whistles. One-third of the wine undergoes carbonic maceration in order to remove some of the tannic astringency you get with the grape. The fruit is pressed very delicately and the wine made in stainless steel. Thanks to this hand-off approach, you are awarded a fresh and bright bouquet with direct primary fruit. This is an easy-drinking wine to pair with simple meat dishes. Fruit is sourced from the Ravera cru." Robert Parker

Cognos Nascetta wird aus der gleichnamigen autochthonen Rebe gekeltert, der man eine Verwandschaft mit der Vermentino-Traube nachsagt. Das Bouquet erinnert an Wiesenblüten, Aprikosen und weiße Pfirsiche, auch am Gaumen eben diese faszinierend harmonische Aromatik mit Eleganz und Frische. Ein außergewöhnlich gutes Geschmackserlebnis! (superiore.de)

"This is an irresistible white wine that offers a much-needed break from intense Barolo tasting. The 2016 Langhe Nascetta del Comune di Novello Anas-Cëtta is a fresh and citrus-driven wine with crisp acidity and tonic layers of white peach, garden herb and blanched almond. The wine boasts a very strong mineral vein that comes forward with almost-salty intensity. This wine did malolactic fermentation until the 2010 vintage, but is now completed without that extra step." Robert Parker

"A ripe, fruity style, featuring a sumptuous texture that envelops the floral, peach, nutmeg and white pepper aromas and flavors. Verges on oily, with a tactile sensation on the lingering, savory finish." Wine Spectator

"The 2016 Anas-Cëtta is a rare Piedmontese white of real distinction. Lemon peel, white flowers and mint match the wine's understated, polished personality nicely. Floral overtones add freshness to this super-inviting white from Cogno." Antonio Galloni

Dunkles Rubin, in der Nase dunkelbeerige Frucht, nach schwarzen Johannisbeeren, Brombeeren und etwas Tabak. Am Gaumen saftig, entfaltet sich dicht und rund mit fest strukturiertem Tannin. (superiore.de)

"This was a terrific vintage for Barbera. The 2015 Barbera d'Alba Bricco dei Merli shows inky density and succulent softness. The grapes have happily absorbed the warm sunshine from the long growing season. The wine was aged in botte grande to maintain the brightness of the fruit and to prevent the wine from becoming too heavy. It shows a pretty level of fresh acidity and it also offers distinct mineral tones that come as a pleasant surprise. Aromas of crushed flint and campfire ash are followed by cola and balsam herb. This wine is distinguished by its savory flavors and the softness of its texture." Robert Parker

"A plush, flamboyant wine, the 2015 Barbera d'Alba Bricco dei Merli is super-expressive today. Dark cherry, raspberry jam, spice and floral notes are all generous in a fleshy, open-knit Barbera that captures all of the natural richness of the year." Antonio Galloni

"A heady Barbera with a wealth of blueberry essence and balsamic character as well as kirsch and dried ivy. Full body, extremely round tannins, high acidity and a dense but uplifted finish." James Suckling

Einzellagen-Barolo Ravera von 40 bis 50 Jahre alten Reben duftet rein und intensiv nach Himbeeren, Erdbeeren und Blüten. Vollmundig und seidig am Gaumen, schöne Frucht, super feine Tannine und eine wunderbare Länge. (superiore.de)

"The Elvio Cogno 2012 Barolo Ravera sees fruit sourced from a single vineyard that spans from Barolo to the nearby Novello township (where the winery is located). The wine follows faithfully in the house style that sees an impeccable, albeit very opulent and bold aromatic profile. This wine lives up to the Cogno promise of rich, luscious fruit flavors with bold cherry, spice, leather and tobacco. Delicate tones of cola, truffle and licorice give lift at the back. The tannins are young and show some astringent tightness that needs extra time to integrate." Robert Parker

"The 2012 Barolo Ravera is another gorgeous wine from Cogno. An exotic melange of orange peel, cinnamon, spices, licorice and dried rose petal lifts from the glass as this sublime, nuanced Barolo gradually opens up. Deceptively medium in body, the 2012 Ravera captures the pedigree of this great Barolo site. With time, the Ravera gains weight, power and intensity, all with streaks of supporting tannin that give the wine its sense of proportion." Antonio Galloni

"Starts out softly, with cherry, floral, licorice and earth notes, building in intensity to a long finish. Elegant yet tightly wound, featuring a compact, if long and fresh, finish. Needs time." Wine Spectator

Dunkle Kirschen, Menthol, Blumen und Teer sind nur einige der klassischen Noten im komplexen Bouquet des Bricco Pernice. Am Gaumen gesellt sich zur strengen Struktur und der großen Macht eine feine innere Süße. Im langen Abgang Erinnerungen an feuchte Erde, getrocknete Kräuter und wilde Blumen. Wunderschön! (superiore.de)

"Each year, Elvio Cogno's Bricco Pernice is among its most successful releases. The 2011 Barolo Bricco Pernice is a noteworthy addition to this long string of successes. The wine is built with heavy lines and bold favors. The 2011 vintage heat definitely helps to pump up the wine's sheer muscle mass. Soft cherry and blackberry flavors segue to smoke, spice and leather. On the Barolo scale, this wine is noticeably softer and rounder for near-term consumption - but it is also built to last, should you want to put a few bottles aside." Robert Parker

"A sensual, totally polished wine, the 2011 Barolo Bricco Pernice brings together gorgeous textural richness with expressive, high-toned aromatic lift. Hard candy, sweet red cherries, mint and spices are laced together in a compelling, stunningly beautiful wine. The 2011 has retained considerable freshness for a Barolo that spent 36 months in cask." Antonio Galloni

"A firm underpinning of grainy tannins buoys cherry, tar and tobacco flavors. Though a tad firm now, this red finds an equilibrium on the long finish, which echoes fruit, tar and underbrush accents." Wine Spectator

Dunkle Kirschen, Menthol, Blumen und Teer sind nur einige der klassischen Noten im komplexen Bouquet des Bricco Pernice, der ab Jahrgang 2012 ausschließlich von Reben der Einzellage Ravera stammt. Am Gaumen gesellt sich zur strengen Struktur und der großen Macht eine feine innere Süße. Im langen Abgang Erinnerungen an feuchte Erde, getrocknete Kräuter und wilde Blumen. Wunderschön! (superiore.de)

"The 2012 Barolo Bricco Pernice is gracious, aromatic and lifted. Bright red cherry, blood orange and white pepper are some of the many notes that lift from the glass. Deceptively medium in body, the 2012 offers notable intensity in the way that only Nebbiolo can deliver. The tannins are naturally quite raw at this stage, so patience is essential." Antonio Galloni

"Lustrous ruby with narrow orange rim. Firm, concentrated nose that is really distinct with notes of red and dark fruit and a hint of rusty nails. Powerful and at the same time composed palate. Richly tannic and perfectly integrated with the fruit. Great acidity and a wonderful chewy length. Super stylish and hedonistic. Almost Serralunga-like tannins." Jancis Robinson

"Offers an appealing grassy aroma characteristic of the '12s, along with dusty cherry, graphite, tobacco and tar flavors. Dense and compact, yet fresh, lingering with savory elements of tobacco and mineral." Wine Spectator

"This wine is not labeled Riserva but it could be because it is released with an additional year of aging in both barrel and bottle. The 2012 Barolo Ravera Bricco Pernice is a dark and velvety wine with a broad aromatic reach. Compared to 2013, this vintage is less successful, in my mind, when it comes to clarity and aromatic focus. This wine shows less depth as a result. The bouquet is powerful and broad with black fruit, prune and dark spice. The finish shows weight and concentration." Robert Parker
