Elvio Cogno Vigna Elena Barolo Riserva is a Nebbiolo from the Barolo appellation in Piedmont, Italy. The vineyard was planted when Elena, daughter of co-owners Valter Fissore and Nadia Cogno, was born, and both vineyard and wine are dedicated to her. The label is a drawing of a small chicken that Elena made for her parents at age three. The wine is aged 36 months in large barrels and is produced only in great vintages.
The color is a brilliant carnet red. Aromas of rose petal, white pepper, balsam herb, dry flowers and sweet tobacco lead to a palate with fresh spices and red fruit. It is balanced and refreshing, with expressive but gracious tannins.
Pair it with pasta in game sauce, roasted or braised red meat, wild boar stew, and mature or blue cheeses.
