BAROLO 2009 BRICCO PERNICE DOCG COGNO

BAROLO 2009 BRICCO PERNICE DOCG COGNO

The Elvio Cogno Winery produces the principle wines of the Langhe. The winery owns about fifteen hectares of vineyard property in Novello, one of eleven townships in the province of Cuneo in which Barolo DOCG production is allowed.

Today Nadia Cogno and Valter Fissore direct the winery with four generations of winemakers and vine growers, dedicated to obtaining excellence that begins with the unique terroir

Ravera is the most well-known cru, or zone of vineyards, of Novello. It is recognized for producing wines that are able to withstand time while maintaining their aromas and freshness intact.

Elvio Cogno proceeded with vineyard management with this mindset, emphasizing the idea that true progress in the enological field coincides with agriculture and organic practices, believing that methods and interventions should be practiced in full respect of the environment, humans, and workers.

The winery began the conversion towards organic production several years ago for practices that will be followed once European certification is obtained.

In addition to certification, the winery ensures a healthy vineyard ecosystem and environmental biodiversity by eliminating synthetic treatments and fertilizers in the vineyards and the use of chemicals and invasive practices in the cellars.

Tasting Notes:

Barolo Bricco Pernice, named after the rock on which courting partridges build their nests, is the very latest wine from Cogno.

The fruit of years of hard work, it is a dream come true.

First envisioned by Elvio and then achieved by Valter, the project was to create a wine from the beautiful vineyard in Novello in the most historical part of the Ravera cru where the exceptional microclimate makes for superb Barolo.

An expression of all the technical and stylistic precepts of the maestro himself, it fully deserves its place in the ‘Riserva di Elvio.’

A peculiar characteristic of Barolo Bricco Pernice is its enveloping softness, capable at once of revealing all the allure and potency of Bricco Ravera.

• Ruby to garnet red in color.
• Intense notes of violet accompanied by a hint of damp soil, ripe red fruit, and subtle spiciness.
• Harmonious and well-structured on the palate with incisive yet fine, soft tannins.

Serving suggestion:

Already elegant and alluring when young, its silkiness and, above all, its complexity allow it to age as only great wines know how
