2020 Elvio Cogno Barolo Cascina Nuova
Grape
Nebbiolo
Its Origins
After working with Marcarini in La Morra, Elvio Cogno returned to his family village in 1990 to rebuild an historical farm into the home of one of Piedmont's more important Barolo producers. Now daughter Nadia and her husband Valter Fissore are the force behind the rising fortunes of the house, producing strictly classic wines with modern cleanliness and technique, low yields and sustainable, closely managed vineyards. “Elvio Cogno is one of the hottest wineries in Piedmont right now. Proprietors Nadia Cogno and Valter Fissore have been on a tear of late and show no signs whatsoever of slowing down. The Barolos are made in an enlightened traditional style that showcases the unique attributes of the estate’s various parcels, all located in Ravera.” - Antonio Galloni
What The Critics Say
96/100 James Suckling
“Extremely perfumed with strawberry and forest floor with some sandalwood, roses and candied watermelon. It’s medium-bodied with ultra-fine tannins that are bold and solid. Very persistent finish. Chewy at the end. Classic Barolo character. Drink after 2029.”
94/100 Parker’s Wine Advocate, Monica Larner
“The Elvio Cogno 2020 Barolo Cascina Nuova has a hint of smoke and barrel with lots of red fruits, currants and cherries. There is an earthy element that ties in nicely with the oak, and there is a tart or crunchy side to the fruit that concludes with grippy tannins. It ages in large oak casks for 24 months. This is an ample release of 20,000 bottles." Drink 2026 - 2038
17.5/20 JancisRobinson.com, Walter Speller
"Novello. Lustrous and just mid ruby. Dusty, minerally and slowly opening up to subtle cherry. With aeration, lift and vitality. Long, elegant cherry streamlined by supple acidity and long tannins that stick to the palate. Signature elegance. Overachiever." Drink 2024 - 2032
