| Year | 2021 |
| Product name | Barbaresco Bordini 2021 |
| Color | Ruby red with slight garnet reflections. |
| Perfume | Particular finesse on the nose, harmony and complexity, olfactory sensations of ripe small fruits and violets, typical of Nebbiolo, with sweet spicy hints. |
| Taste | Enveloping tannin, great elegance and excellent length on the palate. |
| History | Completing the production range is another great expression of the Nebbiolo grape variety: like the other Casa Cogno wines, Barbaresco is elegant and structured, but with a great autonomy of character. Not a Barbaresco that wants to imitate its cousin Barolo, but a wine that sees its full and strong identity respected, in the vineyard and in the cellar. This is the countertrend bet of a Barolo producer who has approached Barbaresco, when he usually keeps his distance, seeing the opportunity to measure himself and confront himself with a historic wine, which is also the maximum manifestation of the Langa territory. This wine was born from the precious collaboration with a friend and producer from Neive, who allowed the Cogno family to embark on this new, small adventure. |
| Pairings | Fresh pasta with light sauces or better Langhe white truffle, rabbit stew and roasted white meat, veil raw tartare, soft cheeses. |
| Region | Piedmont |
| Country | Italy |
