Elvio Cogno, Barolo Ravera, 2013
Elvio Cogno is the producer who put Novello on the Barolo map, farming the high, blue-marl hillsides of the Ravera cru when almost no one else bothered. This is their flagship Ravera, from a vineyard that starts at 380 meters and ripens up to ten days later than the famous sites down the hill, which buys it freshness and a steely, linear spine. The 2013 was a classic, structured Barolo vintage, so this bottle was built for the long haul. At a decade-plus it is moving into its mature stride but still has plenty of road ahead, and a couple of hours in a decanter does it favors.
