Elvio Cogno Barbera D’Alba “Bricco dei Merli” 2018
€35.00
The Elvio Cogno Winery was formed in the footsteps of master wine maker Elvio and continues to produce wines that respect the history of the family today. They maintain, unaltered, traditions and styles that express the flavour and grape varieties of the Langhe.
This is a typical piedmont wine, well-structured and suitable for ageing, in which wood and fruit blend to maintain the characteristics and typicality of the grape varietal. True to Cogno tradition, its principal qualities are its drinkability and freshness. A wine with a define character, capable of showing the terroir of the Langhe.
Bright ruby red in colour with clear crimson highlights. Deep, fully perfumed, elegant and well-balanced with reminiscent of roses, undergrowth, wild berries and oriental spices. A powerful bouquet, sweetened by overall softness. Fine structure accompanied by vibrant freshness. Flavours evoke Morello cherries and plum jam with a long finish of raisins.
Pair with red meat or medium-mature to soft, fatty cheeses.
“The 2018 Barbera d’Alba Bricco dei Merli (with 10,000 bottles made) delivers that signature balance and harmony that we see in the other wines from Elvio Cogno. Barbera can sometimes take on overblown aromas, but this wine remains steady, sweet and mildly concentrated throughout. It delivers dark fruit intensity without ever feeling heavy or too rich. From a cooler vintage, this expression of Barbera shows vibrant freshness and energy. ”
