(Wine Advocate Score 93) The Elvio Cogno 2020 Barbaresco Bordini (with 8,000 bottles made) shows extra power and heft in terms of its fruit delivery. This hot-vintage expression offers medium fruit texture with a classic presentation of cherry, redcurrant, licorice, blue flower and spice. It needs a few more years of bottle age, but we're not too far off from optimal drinking.

Our production range is rounded off by this great expression of the Nebbiolo grape. Like Cogno’s other wines, this Barbaresco is elegant and structured, with a fiercely independent character. This isn’t a Barbaresco that wants to mimic its cousin Barolo, but a wine that demands respect for its full, strong identity, from vineyard to cellar. This is the wager of a Barolo producer going against the stream, grabbing the chance to come to terms with a historical wine, a supreme expression of the Langhe hills. This wine is born thanks to an extremely valuable collaboration with a friend and producer in Neive., which helped the Cogno family to embark on this new adventure.

Ruby red in color with light garnet highlights. Great finesse on the nose, harmonious and complex. Sensations of ripe red fruit and violet, with spicy undertones. Enveloping tannins, great elegance, sapidity and persistence on the palate.
