(Wine Advocate Score 88) Here is one of the first, advance tastes you can get of Nebbiolo from this hot and dry vintage that created challenging growing conditions for vintners across the Langhe. The team at Elvio Cogno shows a deft hand with the 2017 Langhe Nebbiolo Montegrilli. This is a lean red wine with a beautifully brilliant appearance that is tinged with shades of ruby and polished copper. The bouquet is slightly muted and you don't get that absolute precision that Nebbiolo awards in the cooler years. The mouthfeel shows richness coupled with higher and crisper acidity than I would have expected. Some 10,000 bottles were produced.

Nebbiolo has always been one of the most beautiful grapes of the Langhe, able to express new nuances and emotions to those who cultivate and vinify it with respect. It is a meaningful gift and great ambassador of its land of origins. Montegrilli is born in the vineyards with the goal of becoming a genuine and focused wine, able to show the true personality of Nebbiolo grape. With this in mind, we produce a wine without any aging in wood in order to differentiate it clearly from Barolo, creating a product with great immediacy, freshness and drinkability.

Deep ruby red in colour with a slight orange edge. Harmonious well-balanced aroma, a pleasant blend of floral, fruity and soft spicy scents, with a sapid finish of rose and violet. Fresh lively bouquet with harmonious tannins, alcohol and balanced acidity. Soft, elegant and full-bodied with a very long aftertaste. Redolent of freshly macerated red berries, raspberry and redcurrant.
