Langhe Nebbiolo Montegrilli

Azienda Agricola Elvio Cogno is an Italian wine producer, located just south of the Barolo comune in the Langhe area of Piedmont. Elvio Cogno was formed in 1990 when the Cogno family purchased the current winery and house, however the first Barolo that the Cogno family bottled was the great vintage of 1961. Just three years later in 1964, far ahead of his times, Elvio Cogno decided to write the name of the vineyard on the label: Brunate. It was a sign of pride and knowledge of the uniqueness of his wines and of the terroir that helped to create them. The family had been growing grapes and producing wine for many generations. In 2012, the company won a UNESCO award for the restoration work of their farmhouse in the sympathetic installation of new facilities.

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, Elvio Cogno 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.
