Elvio Cogno - Barolo Cascina Nuova 2019
Elvio Cogno Description
With a luminous garnet red color, the Barolo Cascina Nuova is the result of the vinification of the grapes coming from the youngest vines in MGA Ravera. Clear and representative, in this youthful phase it fully expresses hints of juicy red fruit, red-orange, and nectarine, alternating with spicy notes and balsamic hints. Of great softness and silkiness, thanks to well-integrated tannins and good freshness, it proves to find the right balance among complexity, intensity, and excellent drinkability.
Wine Advocate: 94 Points
The Elvio Cogno 2019 Barolo Cascina Nuova is the most accessible of the many excellent Barolos made by this leading estate in the village of Novello. The fundamental value offered by this wine is even more irresistible in a classic vintage like 2019. The wine opens nicely in the glass, unfolding to redcurrant and wild berry. There are varietal tones of licorice, cola and camphor ash over a firm, mid-weight texture.
Wine Enthusiast: 94 Points
This aromatic Barolo opens with wild red berries, fresh herbs and dried roses to create an aromatic lift that will captivate you. The palate delights with light-footed macerated raspberries dusted with spice leading to crushed chalk minerality and fine tannins.
Wine Spectator: 93 Points
Balanced and harmonious, this red delivers cherry, raspberry, spice, mineral and chocolate flavors supported by a spine of refined tannins. Turns more focused on the long, mineral- and spice-tinged aftertaste.
Jeb Dunnuck: 93 Points
Incredible aromatics of wild strawberry, anise, wild herbs, and roses emerge from the 2019 Barolo Cascina Nuova. Despite being more structured, it has a fresh, driven nature, with refreshing acidity and a clean mineral finish. This wine is from "young vines" that are now averaging 20 years old.
