Elvio Cogno 2008 Montegrilli Red (Langhe)

Country: Italy / Montegrilli
Variety: Red Blend Piedmont
Winery: Elvio Cogno / Langhe

This elegant 50-50 blend of Barbera and Nebbiolo (a popular blending formula for many Langhe red wines) offers the pulpy fruit and acidity of Barbera set against the finesse and menthol-like intensity of Nebbiolo. It’s a match made in heaven.
