The Cogno Elvio 2017 Barolo DOCG Riserva Elena is a wine that embodies the essence of Piedmont's winemaking tradition, offering an extraordinary sensory experience. Hailing from the renowned Barolo region, this wine is crafted from carefully selected Nebbiolo grapes from the best vineyards, imparting unparalleled complexity. The 2017 vintage is characterized by perfect ripening, with a climate that ensured optimal concentration of flavors.
Upon opening, the glass fills with enveloping aromas, highlighted by notes of ripe red fruit, such as cherries and plums, which blend gently with hints of sweet spices and vanilla, thanks to aging in oak barrels. On the palate, the wine presents an elegant structure and silky tannins, creating a sublime balance between freshness and depth. The long, impactful finish leaves a lingering aftertaste of wilted roses and dark chocolate.
This Barolo pairs beautifully with traditional dishes, such as braised beef in Barolo or a beef tenderloin. Perfect for celebrating special moments, it can be cellared for several more years but is already ready to be enjoyed, offering unforgettable emotions to anyone who savors its nuances. The Riserva Elena is ultimately a tribute to the passion and dedication of the Cogno family, which has helped shape the winemaking history of its land.
