"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."

Italy grows more indigenous grape varieties than any other country and produces wine in all 20 of its regions. From Piedmont's Nebbiolo to Tuscany's Sangiovese, its finest wines pair structure and bright acidity with a strong sense of place.
In Italy's northwest, Piedmont is home to Nebbiolo, the grape behind the powerful, perfumed and long-lived reds of Barolo and Barbaresco. Fog-shrouded hills and calcareous soils define its greatest wines.
The 'King of Wines,' a powerful, tannic and perfumed Nebbiolo from Piedmont's Langhe hills, celebrated for tar-and-roses aromatics and extraordinary aging potential.
Produces pale but powerfully tannic and perfumed reds with tar, rose and cherry notes. The grape behind Barolo and Barbaresco, it is among the most age-worthy in the world.
