Michaela Morris explores the essence of the Ravera cru with Elvio Cogno owner Valter Fissore and a tasting of vintages from 2004 to 2012, published online exclusively for Decanter Premium members.
After a 30-year partnership with the Marcarini estate in La Morra, Elvio Cogno purchased the 300-year-old Cascina Nuova property in Ravera, Novello – the town where he grew up – in 1990.
