Bricco Pernice Ravera Barolo DOCG
Barolo Ravera Bricco Pernice, named after a small hill on which courting partridges build their nests, is the very latest wine from Cogno. The fruit of years and years of hard work, a desire that has come true. A project — a wine from a beautiful vineyard in Novello, in the most historic part of the Ravera cru, where the exceptional microclimate gives superb Barolo — dreamt of by Elvio and achieved by Valter and Nadia. A peculiar characteristic of Barolo Ravera Bricco Pernice is its enveloping softness, capable at once of revealing all the allure and power of Ravera cru.
The vineyard for Barolo Ravera Bricco Pernice is located in a warm, naturally sheltered area of the Ravera MGA. It has white soil with a high amount of limestone mixed with clay, distinguishing it from other areas of the Ravera cru.

The Elvio Cogno 2021 Barolo Ravera Bricco Pernice is initially reserved and demands patience, but it already hints at the complexity to come with aromas of sweet cherry, dried cassis, spice and blue flower. The pedigree of the 2021 vintage is evident in the wine's precision and finely etched character, qualities that elevate the fruit and give the wine a sense of shape and definition that is rarely achieved. Made entirely from Lampia Nebbiolo grown on two hectares of limestone-clay soils at approximately 320 meters above sea level, this cru Barolo is fermented in stainless steel and aged for 36 months in large Slavonian oak botti. About 5,000 bottles were produced.
