Our warmest congratulations to VALTER FISSORE and NADIA COGNO of the ELVIO COGNO winery in Novello, Italy for being awarded “2009 Winery of the Year” by Wine & Spirits magazine! It’s a well-deserved honor for their authentic & enjoyable piemonte wines that offer excellent value.

VINTAGES was delighted to have Valter Fissore and daughter Elena (see photo at left) in our Belmont store in June for a tasting of the entire line-up — from the delectable A’nascetta white, to Dolcetto, Barbera, and several Barolos, including Ravera & Vigna Elena.

“Through careful vineyard management, low yields, and respect for the organic balance of the vines, Valter Fissore and Nadia Cogno rigorously cultivate native grape varietals: nebbiolo, barbera, dolcetto, and nascetta. Cogno wines seek to transmit emotions, to be remembered. They cheer the soul of anyone who tastes them with passion and sincerity.”
