Product Notes

Elvio Cogno Langhe Nebbiolo Montegrilli wine hails from Langhe, an acclaimed winemaking region in Italy. This premium red wine is pure Nebbiolo, known for its expressive bouquet and luxurious intensity. Red fruit notes harmonise with floral undertones and subtle hints of spice in its rich aroma profile. The palate is rounded, with firm tannins and vibrant acidity, enhancing its long, elegant finish. Aged carefully in oak barrels, Montegrilli highlights the intricate depths of its character. This wine is a splendid illustration of Elvio Cogno's commitment to crafting wines that encapsulate the exceptional terroir of Langhe.

Tasting Notes

Deep ruby red in colour with a slight orange edge. Harmonious well-balanced aroma, a pleasant blend of floral, fruity and soft spicy scents, with a sapid finish of rose and violet. Fresh lively bouquet with harmonious tannins, alcohol and balanced acidity. Soft, elegant and full-bodied with a very long aftertaste. Redolent of freshly macerated red berries, raspberry and redcurrant.
