Mandorlo Dolcetto D’Alba

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.

A great wine with a solid history towards which Elvio Cogno winery has always devoted care and deep commitment. An excellent full-bodied wine, fruit-forward and packed with high drinkability. True to tradition, its freshness and complexity after bottle ageing make it great for daily drinking.

Bright ruby red in color with deep violet highlights. The perfume is immediate and intense, uncompromisingly winey and persistent, with primary aromas. Redolent of grape must which, while ageing, develops sensations of red wild berries. The mouth is dry and full-bodied, elegant and round, with notes of fruit and a wonderfully fresh and juicy finish. Tannins are fine and perfectly integrated.
