Stroppiana Bricco Cogni Barolo 2019
Stroppiana Bricco Cogni Barolo is a distinguished red wine from the Piedmont region of Northern Italy, specifically from the village of La Morra. The Stroppiana estate, based in the hamlet of Rivalta, was established in the 1960s by the current owner Dario's father and maternal grandfather. Today, the winery remains a family-run operation led by Dario and his wife Stefania, along with their children Leonardo and Altea, who represent the fourth generation of winemakers. Their philosophy centers on high-quality production across 5.5 hectares of vineyards, utilizing selective thinning to ensure optimal grape maturation.
Wine Description
This wine displays a classic garnet red colour that develops orange or brick-red highlights as it matures. The sensory profile features a broad and intense olfactory spectrum, with aromas of raspberry, cherry, and pomegranate layered with complex notes of liquorice, tobacco, and smoky earth. On the palate, the wine is rich, full, and deep, showcasing a consistent tannic structure and bright acidity typical of the Nebbiolo grape. It offers a harmonious balance between sweet, soft initial notes and a savoury, very long finish. This 100% Nebbiolo wine is aged for a minimum of 38 months, including at least 18 months in wooden barrels, and typically possesses an alcohol content ranging from 14.5% to 15.0% ABV. While the winery emphasizes traditional quality, the wine is not specifically labeled as organic.
Food Pairing
The robust structure and high tannins of Bricco Cogni make it an ideal companion for hearty meat dishes such as lamb, beefsteak, or wild boar. It pairs naturally with Piedmontese specialties, including brasato al Barolo (braised beef), mushroom or truffle-based risottos, and rich pasta dishes like agnolotti del Plin. Additionally, the wine’s acidity effectively cuts through the fat of strong, aged cheeses such as Parmigiano Reggiano, Castelmagno, or Gorgonzola.
Vintage Quality
The 2019 vintage is highly regarded as a 'classic' year for Barolo, characterized by a long growing season that produced grapes with excellent phenolic ripeness and fresh acidity.
