Elvio Cogno 16 Barolo Ravera

Brilliant garnet-red in color with orange highlights. Firm, elegant and potent on the nose, it has scents of Eurasian wild rose (Rosa canina), mint and tobacco, scents which meld in the course of time into spice, coffee, licorice, truffle, leather and minerals. A full-bodied, rounded bouquet of great structure and balance, redolent of plum jam and withered brambles. The persistent chocolaty finish is harmonious and enticing.

Over the years, it gradually refines its characteristics to achieve classic elegance and composure. Pairs well with braised meats, stewed game, roasts and mature cheeses such as pecorino and Parmigiano Reggiano.
