Elvio Cogno 2006 Cascina Nuova Nebbiolo (Barolo)

  • Cellar Selection
  1. $45
Wow, what a wonderful wine, delivering rich notes of black fruit, vanilla, cherry and spice. But the aromas are in no way obvious. In fact, this is an ethereal and elegant wine that pays attention to the little details, like the light shadings of polished stone and violets that liven up the long finish. Drink after 2018.  — M.L.  (12/1/2010)

Elvio Cogno 2007 Ravera Nebbiolo (Barolo)

  1. $75
From the celebrated Ravera cru, Elvio Cogno delivers a classic and elegant expression of Nebbiolo with tight tannins, long aging potential and nuanced aromas of small berry fruit, cola, leather, licorice and smoky cedar tones. Save this wine in your cellar 10 years or more.  — M.L.  (9/1/2011)

Elvio Cogno 2005 Bricco Pernice Nebbiolo (Barolo)

  1. $115
Barolo Bricco Pernice shows elegant and sophisticated layers of forest fruit, cassis, cola, granite and light smoke. The tannins are firm, drying and would help pair this pretty wine with creamy wild mushroom risotto.  — M.L.  (9/1/2011)

  • Online Exclusive
Elvio Cogno is a winery to watch closely in the future. These are exciting wines, loaded with charm and personality. The 2005 Ravera cru expression is tightly packed with fragrant fruit, floral and spice aromas and the mouthfeel is smooth, silky and long. Drink after 2015.  — M.L.  (2/1/2010)

Elvio Cogno 1999 Ravera Nebbiolo (Barolo)

  1. $63
In need of bottle aging, Cogno’s ’99 Ravera blends molasses with dates and figs to give the impression of a spiced fruitcake impregnated with tannins instead of rum. Give it until 2010, when it should begin to open up.  — W.E.  (4/2/2004)

Elvio Cogno 1999 Bricco dei Merli Barbera (Barbera d'Alba)

  1. $34
This is a clean Barbera, but one with individual personality. The palate is tight and tart, with cherry and cranberry. The finish is mellow and cooling, with notes of cola, root beer and bark. The structure is tight as a drum. This is a fine wine to accompany Italian dishes.  — M.S.  (11/15/2002)

Elvio Cogno 2003 Vigna Del Mandorlo Dolcetto (Dolcetto d'Alba)

  • Editors' Choice
  1. $20
Nicely concentrated, with a depth of fruit and richness of texture uncommon to Dolcetto. Grapey, with black cherry and plum flavors taking the lead, but elegant at the same time, with a long, layered finish.  — J.C.  (3/1/2005)
