The newest addition to the lineup, the 2009 Barbaresco Bordini, is gorgeous. It boasts superb depth, richness and power. The broad shoulders and pure structure of Neive come through loud and clear. This is an unusually deep, rich wine for the year. The balance of fruit, acidity and structure is terrific. Hints of tobacco, crushed flowers, mint and licorice linger on the finish. The Bordini is yet another great showing from Cogno. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2029. Importer: Vias Imports, New York, NY; tel. (212) 629-0200

This red exhibits a supple texture, juicy profile and firm structure, all in alignment with its cherry, raspberry, licorice and tobacco flavors. A touch dry on the finish now, yet this should develop nicely. Best from 2015 through 2026. 550 cases made.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barbaresco Select to Add
