2016 Elvio Cogno Montegrilli Langhe Nebbiolo 750mL
Critic Scores
Enticing aromas of cherry, berry, licorice and floral pick up some density as this crosses the palate, where an earthy note emerges. Balanced and long. -Wine Spectator
The 2016 Langhe Nebbiolo Montegrilli is a terrific wine that faithfully represents the best of Nebbiolo, without the extra bells or whistles. One-third of the wine undergoes carbonic maceration in order to remove some of the tannic astringency you get with the grape. The fruit is pressed very delicately and the wine made in stainless steel. Thanks to this hand-off approach, you are awarded a fresh and bright bouquet with direct primary fruit. This is an easy-drinking wine to pair with simple meat dishes. Fruit is sourced from the Ravera cru. - Monica Larner, Wine Advocate
