"Intense, soaring aromatics, nuanced fruit and silky tannins are some of the signatures in Cogno's 2010 Barolo Bricco Pernice. Hard candy, lavender, plums and cassis meld into more exotic white pepper and orange rind overtones. Translucent and regal in the glass, the 2010 is all about finesse. At the same time, there is plenty of acidity and tannin lurking in the background, both of which ensure the 2010 will drink beautifully for years to come. The Bricco Pernice emerges from a parcel that separates Cogno's holdings with those of Vietti." Vinous, Mar 2015 |
