Characteristics of Elvio Cogno Bricco Pernice wine

Barolo Bricco Pernice Ravera among the best versions ever. Large Slavonian oak barrel for 30 months. Austere and dense at the start, it widens and settles on notes of superb purity and expression, with hints of liquorice and nutmeg, humus, dried leaves, dried herbs and flowers, a pinch of tar, then corn, macerated strawberry and jams. The same richness and abundance on the palate; the entry is soft and proportionate, with juicy development and smooth tannins. Excellent.
