The vineyards are located in Ravera and Pasinotti areas; Bricco (meaning "hill") indicates that this vineyard is located at the very top of the hill. A typical Piedmontese wine, wellstructured and suitable for ageing, in which wood and fruit blend to maintain intact the characteristics and typicality of the grape varietal.

Bright ruby red in color with clear crimson highlights. Deep, full aromas, elegant, well-balanced and enduring, reminiscent of rose, undergrowth and oriental spices. Fine structure accompanied by lively acidic freshness.

The Cogno family has been making wine for four generations in Piedmont. In 1990, Elvio Cogno left a long and fruitful partnership with the venerable Barolo producer Marcarini in La Morra and bought a splendid, historic 18th-century farmhouse on the top of Bricco Ravera, a hill near Novello in the Langhe area. For the next 20 years, he devoted himself to the winemaking traditions handed down to him by his father and grandfather. Elvio, in turn, has now passed the torch to his daughter, Nadia, and her husband, Valter Fissore, who had worked beside Elvio for 25 years. Cogno continues to produce elegant wines without altering the traditions, styles and flavors of the Langhe, with its breathtaking quilted landscape and unique grape varieties.

In 1990, Elvio Cogno left a long and fruitful partnership with the venerable Barolo producer Marcarini at La Morra and bought a splendid, historic 18th century farmhouse on the top of Bricco Ravera, a hill near Novello in the Langhe area. The farm was surrounded by 11 hectares of steeply sloped vineyards. Elvio restored the manor, converted the old granaries to wine cellars, and founded his eponymous winery. For the next 20 years, he devoted himself to the winemaking traditions handed down to him by his father and grandfather. Elvio, in turn, has now passed the torch to his daughter, Nadia, and her husband, Valter Fissore, who has worked beside Elvio for 25 years. Following in the footsteps of Elvio the maestro, Elvio Cogno winery continues to produce elegant wines without altering the traditions, styles, and flavors of the Langhe, with its breathtaking quilted landscape and unique grape varieties. The Elvio Cogno winery sits at the top of Bricco Ravera, a hill near Novello in the Langhe area of Piedmont, one of the 11 communes in which Barolo is produced. Ravera is the finest cru of Novello, encircling the top of the hill and the winery, reaching 380 meters in elevation, with breathtaking views in all directions.
