Elvio Cogno - Barolo Cascina Nuovo 2017 (750ml)
Producer Description
Cascina Nuova is the historical name of the Elvio Cogno estate and of the area where it is located within the Ravera cru.
The grapes used for producing the 2017 Barolo Cascina Nuova comes from the youngest Nebbiolo vines located in our Ravera vineyard. Out of all our Barolo wines, it is the most accessible one, even if we don’t like to consider it an entry level Barolo. It has a strong personality due to its great finesse and depth of fruit. The 2017 vintage smells of red fruit and sweet spices, complemented by a refreshing blood orange note. On the palate, it shows a lively acidity and is perfectly balanced thanks to the silky and wraparound texture of its tannins.
Wine Enthusiast: 96 Points
Truffle, wild berry, rose and baking spice aromas come to the forefront along with a balsamic whiff of menthol. Delicious and smooth, the full-bodied palate doles out juicy black cherry, crushed raspberry, blood orange and licorice set against tightly knit, refined tannins.
Wine Spectator: 93 Points
This is focused and almost creamy in texture, boasting cherry, strawberry, almond, tar and earth flavors. Multifaceted and just when you think it's accessible, the dense, dusty tannins emerge. Fresh and long.
Jeb Dunnuck: 93 Points
This is perfumed with ripe cherry, licorice, tar, and dried roses. The palate is ripe and refreshing, with a fairly classic build noted by red plum, tobacco leaf, and turned earth. This wine is beautiful and inviting out of the gates.
Wine Advocate: 93 Points
This wine is a sure bet from Elvio Cogno and such a steal. The 2017 Barolo Cascina Nuova delivers ample intensity and power. In this regard, it keeps faithfully in line with the expectations of a hot vintage that rendered more concentrated and sweeter fruit. However, the expert winemaking team at this estate has been able to manage any excesses or hints of over-ripeness.
