The Elvio Cogno winery sits on the top of Bricco Ravera, a hill near Novello in the Langhe area of Piedmont, one of the eleven communes in which Barolo is produced. The cellar is housed in an 18th-century manor farm surrounded by 11 hectares of land, all occupied by vineyards.
The Cogno family has been making wine in the Langhe area for four generations: the values of history and tradition handed down by father Elvio are enhanced by the freshness and innovation introduced by his daughter Nadia and her husband Valter Fissore.
The wine is ruby-red in color with light garnet highlights. Great finesse on the nose, harmonious and complex. Sensations of ripe red fruit, such as redcurrant and red cherry — typical of Nebbiolo — with spicy undertones. Enveloping tannins, great elegance and persistence on the palate.
Cogno's 2013 Barbaresco Bordini is a pretty, gracious wine, but it also is a bit lacking in depth, not to mention the personality of the best years. Hints of crushed flowers, sweet tobacco, menthol and dried cherries are present, but the flavors are washed out and the wine shows elements of dilution. Overall, this is a disappointing wine from a usually much more reliable producer.
