PRODUCT OVERVIEW:
Luigi Voghera established the estate bearing his name in 1974 with his wife, Pinuccia. Situated in proximity to the three main villages in the region, Treiso, Neive, & Barbaresco, Luigi Voghera is a small, sustainably farmed property dedicated to the craftsmanship of wines made exclusively from native varietals that reflect their origins. Luigi has passed on, but his son, Livio has taken the reins and runs the estate with the same passion and dedication as his father. With only 22 hectares of vineyards, he has time to lavish lots of attention on his vines throughout the year, and it shows in his finished wines.
Today's wine is sourced from two parcels of land (totaling three hectares) in the Cottà Vineyard, which is the oldest vineyard owned by the Voghera family and has vines between 30 and 60 years old. Fermented in stainless steel and aged in wooden casks for two years before bottling, it is a nebbiolo lover's dream.
Medium-bodied, the 2020 "Cottà" has aromas of violets, brambly raspberries, and red cherries that follow on the palate, where the fruit characters are laced with notes of tar, leather, and spice. The finish is tinged with cherries and lingers on the palate. Bright acidity and polished tannins give the wine structure without detracting from its silky texture. It opens up beautifully with a brief decanting but has the structure to age gracefully for 10-15 years.
