Elvio Cogno Vigna Elena Barolo Riserva 2018

Rich fragrance unfolds, with floral suggestions of roses and violets mingling with licorice and mint, before yielding to a rich, fruity core of fresh red cherry and orange peel. The finish is long and layered, with light undertones of dried strawberries and dried flowers, leaving a comforting conclusion.

Rich, opulent ruby with a nose that unfolds with layers of plump, juicy cranberries and succulent plums, giving way to a gentle rose petal undertone. As the wine opens, the tannins become increasingly dense, leading to a long, enjoyable tail that persists with a nuance of fruitiness.
