ABOUT THE WINE


The winery is named after its founder, Elvio Cogno, who was a legendary winemaker and a key figure in the renaissance of the Barolo region in the 1960s and 1970s. Today, Elvio Cogno is run by Valter Fissore, Elvio's son-in-law, who has continued the winery's tradition of producing exceptional wines. The winery owns several vineyards in the Langhe, including some of the most prestigious sites in the region, such as Ravera and Bricco Pernice.
Barolo Cascina Nuova proves that even the youngest vineyards can produce an excellent Barolo, albeit easily accessible, more immediate and of wide appeal. Created for a public that wants to get to know the wine gradually before moving onto more complex examples, it might even be defined as a benchmark among Barolo wines. A point of departure for a delightful and gratifying wine drinking experience, it also ensures excellent value for money. True to the history of great wine and Langhe tradition, Valter and Nadia see this Barolo as an assemblage of grapes from the youngest vineyards, carefully drawing out the best each one has to offer. This is a wine that manages to reflect all the character of a major terroir.


TASTING NOTE:


Born to satisfy the curiosity of consumers keen to have a more immediate understanding of Barolo, the wine is bright garnet red in color with orange tints. Pleasing and immediate, it offers scents of flowers and light, delicate spices. The mouth is agreeably rounded, juicy and fresh, with just the right balance between pleasantness and elegance. The aftertaste is very harmonious with a mineral, aromatic finish.


FOOD PAIRING:


This wine is best enjoyed after decanting for at least an hour to allow it to breathe and open up. It pairs well with rich, hearty dishes such as beef stew, roasted lamb, or aged cheeses.
