Tasting Notes

From Nebbiolo vines which reach 60 years of age, this Barolo Ravera captures the essence of the Ravera MGA of which it bears the name. The color is a bright garnet, which immediately refers to the grape variety. The nose, sweet and intense, is characterized by tasty notes of blackberry, ripe strawberry and cherry surrounded by floral, spicy, especially white pepper, and officinal herbs scents. The attack in the mouth is savory, a typical characteristic which is due to the vineyard of origin. Fresh and tasty on the palate, it is charming and satisfying thanks to silky tannins and depth of flavor, giving pleasant spicy hints which gradually leave room for a long fruity finish.

"This beautiful, luminously hued Barolo opens with enticing scents of perfumed berry, dark spice, eucalyptus, violet and forest floor. The savory palate combines elegance and structure, delivering juicy red cherry, raspberry compote, star anise and wild mint framed in taut, refined tannins that give it a smooth but firm texture. Bright acidity keeps energized."

Kerin O'Keefe, September 2022

“The 2018 vintage shows an early exuberance in its red-cherry and raspberry flavors heightened by scents of rose petals and balsamic herbs. The tannins, while taut, are a bit softer and rounder in this vintage.” 

Stephanie Johnson, December 2022

“The Elvio Cogno 2018 Barolo Ravera is becoming one of the most important wines in Novello, and it performs very nicely in this more challenging vintage. The wine shows small-berry detailing with rust and crushed stone at the back. There is a point of bitterness that accompanies the tannins of this full-bodied wine.”

Monica Larner

“This is alluring for the strawberry, cherry and currant flavors, with details of iron, tar and tobacco. Starts out silky in texture, then the structure sneaks up on you as this red builds to a long finish.” 

Bruce Sanderson, November 2022
