Elvio Cogno 2013 Bricco dei Merli (Barbera d’Alba)

Country: Italy / Bricco dei Merli
Variety: Barbera Piedmont
Winery: Elvio Cogno / Barbera d’Alba

Aromas of mature dark-skinned fruit, scorched earth, exotic spice and a whiff of blue flower lead the way. The vibrant, savory palate doles out juicy black cherry, plum, ground pepper and anise set in a framework of racy acidity and softly polished tannins. Enjoy through 2018.
