Elvio Cogno 2004 Montegrilli Red (Langhe)

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

A skillful blending of 50% Barbera and 50% Nebbiolo, the Cogno has lovely wild strawberry aromas, cranberry and a touch of licorice. Light bodied but with fairly intense flavors, it was pleasant and interesting, its only fault lay in the slightly high acidity.
