🌟 A singular Barolo of depth and nobility—structured, graceful, and profoundly terroir-driven.

👁 In the Glass:
Deep garnet with amber hues—classic and refined.

👃 On the Nose:
Complex and evolving. Perfumed aromas of rose petal, dried cherry, and wild strawberry unfold alongside truffle, sweet tobacco, anise, and hints of forest floor.

👅 On the Palate:
Elegant and powerful. Fine-grained tannins frame a core of ripe red fruit, dried herbs, and spice. The wine is layered and textured, with vibrant acidity and a long, savoury finish marked by mineral tension and Barolo's signature poise.

🍽 Food Pairing:
Perfect with braised beef, porcini risotto, game birds, or aged Parmigiano Reggiano. A Barolo made for contemplative meals and exceptional occasions.

⏳ Ageing Potential:
Exceptional—drink from 6–25 years after vintage. Decanting recommended in youth.

Bricco Pernice is Elvio Cogno’s grand cru—an artisanal Barolo from a rare, high-elevation site. Deeply expressive, masterfully balanced, and built for ageing, it stands among the region’s finest expressions of Nebbiolo.
