Elvio Cogno Anas-Cetta Nascetta di Novello 2020 – 750ml Breakthru

93pys Jeb Dunnuck

Another fresh white, the 2020 Nascetta Del Comune Di Novello Anas-Cetta is starting to show the potential of these wines with a few years in bottle with its aromas of beeswax, fresh pear, and salty earth. It is medium to full-bodied and mouthwatering, with a salty lift and a lovely almondine note, and it is not showing any signs of oxidation. This is a beautiful and savory wine to enjoy over the next 15 years.

92pts Vinous

The 2020 Anas-Cëtta is a brisk, vibrant white to drink now and over the next few years. Pear, green apple, mint, sage almond, crushed rocks and white pepper lend notable aromatic brilliance. The move towards a more chiseled style has paid off big-time.

92pts Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate

This is always a standout white wine from Piedmont, and I found this hot-vintage release to be especially delicious and fun to drink. The Elvio Cogno 2020 Langhe Nascetta del Comune di Novello Anas-Cetta is ripe and fruit-forward with stone fruit, preserved lemon and hints of saffron. The wine’s texture shows some pretty weight and lasting creaminess. Best After 2022

92pts Wine & Spirits

Bright and zesty on the first sip, this wine gains fleshiness and texture with time in the glass. Flavors of juicy white peach, honeydew melon and kiwi meet lively acidity, with accents of green peppercorn and citrus peel. Delicious now, this will continue to improve with a few years in the cellar.

Winemaker Notes

Straw-yellow in color with golden highlights. The nose is fine and elegant with just the right intensity. It exudes complex, lingering scents of wild flowers and herbs, citrus and a hint of flint notes. The bouquet suggests acacia honey, grapefruit, sage and rosemary. Its pleasant, fresh and balanced structure makes it ideal as an accompaniment to vegetable dishes, white meats, raw fish, oysters and creamy cheeses.
