Elvio Cognoi Barbaresco Bordini 2016 75cl

Tasting Note

The 2016 Barbaresco Bordini is a classy, polished wine. This is an especially gracious wine from Bordini, where the Barbarescos are often bigger. Sweet spice, tobacco, menthol, licorice and cloves add lovely shades of nuance. Dark in its expression and also tightly wound, the 2016 is very nicely done. I confess, though, I would like to see a little more excitement here. Antonio Galloni 92pts

Producer

This small, family-run estate in Piemonte is known as a benchmark for quality among Barolo producers. Occupying 15 hectares in Novello, 11 of which fall in the renowned Ravera there is a clear focus on top-end wines at Elvio Cogno. Regularly achieving high scores and praise from the critics, this is one of the best producers in Piemonte, if not Italy as a whole.
