Bricco Pernice Ravera Barolo DOCG
Barolo Ravera Bricco Pernice, named after a small hill where partridges nest, is the latest wine from Cogno. It is the result of years of hard work and a fulfilled dream. This wine comes from a beautiful vineyard in Novello, in the historic part of the Ravera cru, where the exceptional microclimate produces superb Barolo. It was dreamt of by Elvio and achieved by Valter and Nadia.
Barolo Ravera Bricco Pernice comes from a prime vineyard in a warm, sheltered area of the Ravera MGA. The soil is rich in limestone and clay, with traces of sand, setting it apart from other parts of the Ravera cru. The vines, aged 30 to 55 years, are grown sustainably at a density of 5,000 vines per hectare, with a south and southwest exposure that ensures optimal sunlight. This unique terroir produces a Barolo that reflects the distinct character of the Ravera cru.

“A youthful red brick color, the 2019 Barolo Ravera Bricco Pernice has a phenomenal nose, delivering notes of polished leather, dried strawberries, cedar, mint, and lilacs. Taking on a more noble structure, this medium to full-bodied Barolo offers broader-shouldered tannins, a chiseled feel with ripe, rich tannins, and an earth-driven finish..”
