2021 Elvio Cogno Barbaresco Bordini

95 Points Kerin O'Keefe
In stock
A delicious Barbaresco from one of the finest houses in Piedmont. Cogno is a leading Barolo producer who is so serious about the potential of the other great Nebbiolo village that they have decided — alongside other Barolo names like Massolino and Vietti — to release a Barbaresco as well. From 70yr old vines in the commune of Neive. Like Cogno’s other wines, this Barbaresco is elegant and structured, with a fiercely independent character. A serious red to drink or cellar.
$95.00 in mixed 6+ or $105.00 per bottle

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.

What The Critics Say

95/100 Kerin O’ Keefe

“Immediate and delicious, this has enticing aromas of rose petal, forest berry and culinary spice. The elegant, savory palate delivers juicy red cherry, orange zest and grilled herb alongside polished tannins and fresh acidity. A star anise note lingers on the finish. Drink through 2034.”

94/100 James Suckling

“Attractive raspberries and cherries with hints of roselle and red spices. Some blood orange, too. Medium- to full-bodied, polished and refined with compact tannins and velvety texture. It’s ripe but fresh with pure and vivid red fruit character and a lengthy finish. Attractive now, but better after 2025.”
