Mid crimson. Smoky (a touch reductive?) dark fruit. Relatively closed on the nose. This has restraint but also oozes class and refinement. You could overlook this because of its restraint but it is really delicious. Juicy, scented, elegant. (JH)

Cogno's 2012 Barbera d'Alba Prephylloxera is all about finesse. Rose petal, pomegranate, cranberry and mint lift from the glass. The aromas and flavors are bright and precise, while the sweet, perfumed finish makes it hard to move on. There is plenty to admire in this handcrafted, cask-aged, old-vine Barbera.
