Elvio Cogno, Barolo Ravera, 2009
High-elevation Novello Barolo from the late Elvio Cogno's legacy estate, now in its drinking window. Elvio — long the winemaker at Marcarini before founding his own estate in 1990 — settled in Novello, the southernmost Barolo village, where the Ravera cru climbs to cool, breezy altitudes that yield Barolo of high-toned aromatics and serious structure. Son-in-law Valter Fissore runs things today, with a modern-traditional approach that pairs long maceration with neutral botti aging. The 2009 was a warm, generous vintage, and at sixteen years on, this Ravera has shed its primary youth — red cherry, rose, mineral lift, and a hint of Novello's distinctive saline herbal edge. Drinking beautifully now, with years of cellar life ahead.
