TOP 100 WINERIES 2017
Old & Young Ravera Vines: The Ravera cru yielded two excellent wines
for Fissore in the variable 2012 vintage. Fruit from his oldest vines
(50 to 70 years of age) goes into Barolo Ravera, a floral wine with
deep flavors of red cherry and plum, tobacco and anise. Cascina
Nuova is Fissore's entry-level Barolo, the fruit culled from younger
vines on the slopes immediately below the farmhouse. Its exuberant
floral scents and vibrant cherry flavors feel transparent and lifted, an
excellent introduction to Ravera Barolo.
Leading Nascetta's Resurgence: It's impossible to talk
about Elvio Cogno without mentioning nascetta, Novello's native white variety that Cogno and Fissore helped
save from extinction. They made their first vintage
of Anas-Cëtta (an old name for the variety) in 1994
with fruit cherry-picked from old vineyards around
Novello that yielded just 800 bottles. Their efforts

Valter Fissore
recently hosted a vertical
tasting of seven vintages
to demonstrate the variety's aging potential, with the 2011 showing exceptionally well, its
stone-fruit and honeysuckle flavors edged in notes of mint and sage.
The current vintage of Anas-Cëtta is 2015, and it has a youthful freshness and florality, with flavors of green melon, fennel and sage propelled by a brisk streak of salinity. -S.J.
