2020 Elvio Cogno "Bordini" Barbaresco, Piedmont, Italy
ABOUT THIS WINE
The result of an excellent vintage, the Barbaresco Bordini 2020 is a wine of great impact, because of its exuberant and rich aromatic profile, composed of ripe strawberry, Mediterranean herbs, cola, and sweet spices. It is a tasty, vibrant, and fresh wine, which does not lack the typical and dense tannic texture that gives thickness to the sip. The correspondence between nose and mouth is excellent and the aftertaste is decidedly long.
