Questo vino

Vineyard and terroir

The wine comes from the Novello area. Elvio Cogno works with fruit from Ravera, one of the important crus in the commune of Novello.

Vinification

The ripe clusters are picked entirely by hand. Vinification is fairly traditional, with fermentation in stainless steel tanks so that the natural fruit aromas come through.

Ageing

The wine is aged for one year in large, lightly toasted Slavonian oak casks, which give it greater depth and a rounded texture. It then rests in bottle for a further six months.

Tasting profile

Soft and rich in profile, with complex aromas. Each sip is clear and well defined, with a balance of brightness and delicacy. The bottle rest brings it to full harmony.

Vintage notes

The description refers to the 2023 vintage but gives no details of its weather.

Label / history

Elvio Cogno is a family winery with four generations of winemaking, handing its traditions from father to son. It works with a few local varieties: Nebbiolo, Barbera, Dolcetto and Nascetta. The winery is historic and equipped with modern technology.
