Elvio Cogno Anas-Cetta Nascetta di Novello 2023

This is a very serious white wine from one of Italy’s most iconic producers. It’s not just some light, fun white wine – but rather a more serious, robust offering from Piedmont that has grown to affectionately been known as “white barolo”. It has a beautiful combination of pure juicy citrus fruit, with a rich creamy mid-palate and no shortage of depth and elegance to the mouthfeel. This is one special Italian white wine that hits way, way above today’s price tag. The oft 100-point Elvio Cogno is not just a red wine house – this Nascetta is an electric show-stopping white.

Original price was: $35.00.Current price is: $22.00.

A slightly more rounded feel can be found in the 2021 Nascetta Del Comune Di Novello Anas-Cetta, with more yellow fruit and chamomile followed by notes of wet stone, fresh orchard peaches, and apricot. It also reveals a light flinty note aromatically, with a hint of baking spice on the finish.

Barolo is obviously known for its Nebbiolo and Elvio Cogno may be amongst the most famous producers for that. But there were always the occasional few bins of healthy white clusters of fruit that would come in the winery from the historic vineyards. In the 1980s, Elvio Cogno started harvesting and bottling these glorious white wine bunches separately.

But nearly a decade later, it was an unlikely challenge from journalist Armando Gambera to open a bottle of the privately bottled 1986, which brought the Genie out of the bottle. Everyone at the tasting was floored by the quality of the aged Nascetta.

Cogno began work immediately to perfect and then produce a commercial bottling of his new ‘white Barolo’ discovery. But since there was not a single Nascetta vineyard left in all existence, Elvio helped locals go through their existing vineyards to harvest the white bunches first – enough for just 800 bottles.

“Elvio Cogno is one of the hottest wineries in Piedmont right now. Proprietors Nadia Cogno and Valter Fissore have been on a tear of late, and show no signs whatsoever of slowing down.” -Antonio Galloni
