The 2016 Barolo Riserva Ravera Vigna Elena is such a complete wine. Elegant, deep and powerful, like only great Barolo can be, the Vigna Elena possesses tons of nuance and dimension from the very first taste. Exotic spice and orange zest notes open first. Ripe raspberry, mocha and autumn leaves develop later. The Vigna Elena is an absolute delight. 97/100 (01.2021)

The 2016 Barolo Riserva Ravera Vigna Elena captures all the best qualities of the Cogno house style in this vintage. Supple and racy with gorgeous mid-palate sweetness, the 2016 is aromatically expressive and generous. Already impeccable in its balance, the 2016 has all the ingredients to develop into a truly special wine - actually, it already is one. This really fleshes out nicely with time, expanding all the way through to the finish. 94-97/100 (11.2019)

The Elvio Cogno 2016 Barolo Riserva Ravera Vigna Elena represents a tremendous effort and a wine that makes the best of an iconic vintage and a celebrated territory. The Ravera cru of Novello is making some of the best new Barolos today, and it definitely made some of the best expressions from the 2016 vintage. The bouquet is mostly primary and bright, but there are light hints of age that are already beginning to appear. They include licorice, tar and camphor ash. This elegant wine exists in only 5,000 bottles made. 97/100 (06.2022)
