The Elvio Cogno Barolo Ravera is brilliant garnet-red in colour with orange highlights. Firm, elegant and potent on the nose, the Elvio Cogno Barolo Ravera has scents of rose, mint and tobacco, scents which meld in the course of time into spices, coffee, licorice, truffle, leather and minerals. A full-bodied, rounded bouquet of great structure and balance, redolent of plum jam and withered brambles. The persistent chocolaty aftertaste is harmonious and enticing. Over the years the Elvio Cogno Barolo Ravera will gradually refine its characteristics to achieve classic elegance and composure.

"Crushed raspberries and sour cherries lift from the glass, with hints of rosebud, thyme and leather. The elegant palate showcases proper tannin management with supple tannin, and vibrant acidity creating an elegant profile. The palate continues with notes of red nectarine, macerated raspberries and crushed stones that are all additive as the wine will continue to develop with time in the cellar. Drink 2025–2045." - Wine Enthusiast, 96 points
