Elvio Cogno Barolo Cascina Nuova 2021
Elvio Cogno Barolo Cascina Nuova 2021
The vineyards of Cascina Nuova are located on three hectares of plots overlooking the farmhouse of the same name, the headquarters of the winery.
They are characterized by strains with an average age of 21 years, at a height of about 380 meters above sea level, facing south. They are our youngest vines that, however, know how to interpret Barolo masterfully, giving the wine structure and elegance accompanied by a pleasant and immediate mouthfeel.

This wine sources its fruit from across three hectares on clay limestone soils. The Elvio Cogno 2021 Barolo Cascina Nuova is the most accessible wine in the family's portfolio, and indeed, the intensity threshold is a little lower in this case (especially compared to the Ravera), although you do get plenty of delicate Nebbiolo nuances. The bouquet offers dark fruit, blue flower and spice. This wine ages in large Slavonian oak casks for 24 months, so the primary fruit remains front and center. I suggest another year of bottle age to give the wine time to find better focus. Production is 21,000 bottles.
