Elvio Cogno Barolo Cascina Nuova 2021

95 points Wine Spectator: "Supple and detailed, featuring aromas and flavors of cherry, strawberry, plum, eucalyptus, iron and tobacco. This is all about finesse and balance, with a gentle line of malleable tannins on the lingering aftertaste. Best from 2028 through 2046." Our note, pre-score: Cascina Nuova is essentially the poster child of my Drink More Barolo! campaign. The relatively younger vines create a Barolo with immediate appeal—aromatic, silky, wonderful Barolo with the charm to show off in its youth. Put the Ravera in the cellar; Drink More Barolo! with this fantastic number. -Marcus 2019 vintage notes 93 points Wine Spectator: "Balanced and harmonious, this red delivers cherry, raspberry, spice, mineral and chocolate flavors supported by a spine of refined tannins. Turns more focused on the long, mineral- and spice-tinged aftertaste. Best from 2026 through 2043."
