2014 Barolo Vigna Elena Riserva

Elvio Cogno's portfolio closes with the special 2014 Barolo Riserva Ravera Vigna Elena. This wine from the cooler 2014 vintage clearly stands out from the other new releases from the 2015 and 2016 vintages, which are also being released at this time. Fleeting, fragile and delicate, the wine shows a softer caliber of fruit, with wild berries, cassis, smoke, tar and powdered licorice. There are earthy notes in the background with truffle essence and forest floor. This vintage offers an increased level of complexity and nuance. This wine is a pure expression of the rosé clone of Nebbiolo, known for its lighter color and delicate aromas. Only 3,000 bottles exist.
