Elvio Cogno "Pre-Phylloxera" Barbera d'Alba 2022

The tiny 0.25 hectare Pre-Phylloxera vineyard is located in La Morra commune, more precisely in Berri area at 520 meter elevation. The small plot of 140 year old vines has an excellent exposure and sandy-chalky terrain which guarantees a natural protection from Phylloxera. A dark ruby red color, bright, with intense violet reflections. Fascinating and stratified on the nose, it opens with notes of berries, continuing with an intense spicy note and aromas of medicinal herbs, flowers and balsamic hints. On the palate, it shows an excellent structure and freshness and proves to be already well integrated and persuasive, thanks to the perfectly blended velvety tannic texture.
