Elvio Cogno, Barolo Ravera, 2010
Over the past decade Elvio Cogno has joined Piedmont's elite by mastering one specific terroir, and this is its heart. Ravera is the historic cru of Novello that wraps around the estate's hilltop winery, and 2010 is one of the great classic Barolo vintages, a cool, elegant year built for the long game. Now maturing, this traditionally made Nebbiolo shows what patience delivers: powerful structure softening into savory complexity, with tannins that have started to unwind. It's dark-fruited and earthy, streaked with tobacco, truffle, and dried herbs. A serious Barolo from a serious producer, drinking beautifully.
