93 points Luis Gutiérrez (Wine Advocate): "A wine like this adds an exciting splash of gold to a wine region that is celebrated for its ruby reds. Always refreshing, the Elvio Cogno 2022 Langhe Nascetta del Comune di Novello Anas-Cëtta offers an exciting change of pace with honeysuckle, white peach, apple and quince. There are salty hints of crushed mineral too. The wine shows medium body and enough textural density to pair with baked fish or white meat. Some 18,000 bottles were made. Drink 2023-2026. (08/4/23)."
93 points Decanter: "There are only 13 producers of the rare Nas-cëtta del Comune di Novello, but Valter Fissore tells me that demand is growing and so he is planting three more hectares. Vinified and matured half in stainless steel and half in Slavonian oak casks, with select indigenous yeasts and no malo, this is waxy and smoky, with a delightful apricot scent. Textured, juicy and sapid, it combines flavours of apple and lime with a mineral tang on the mid-palate. A gastronomic wine that offers plenty of complexity in the future. Drink 2023-2038. (04/3/23)." 92+ points Jeb Dunnuck: "Bottled two days ago. the 2022 Nascetta Del Comune Di Novello Anas-Cetta is exuberant with aromas of broth and tropical, herbal, and saline notes. Medium-bodied, with a lovely waxy viscosity, it reveals elements of saline and fresh pineapple, without feeling bloated or heavy. It has an Alpine sensibility, with a light bitter almond note on the finish as well as lime blossom and citrus. This fresh white would work over a broad spectrum of food pairings and could be a sommelier’s secret weapon. (05/4/23)."
91 points Falstaff Guide: "Medium straw yellow with bright reflections. Garden herbs, citrus zest and slightly smoky flint on the nose. The palate is very juicy and fresh, with light minerality and citrus aromas, medium length finish. (Oct 2023)"
90 points James Suckling: "Aromas of fresh savory herbs, white flowers, lemon peel and sliced pears. Medium-bodied, vibrant and toned on the palate with crunchy acidity and a zesty, slightly phenolic edge to the finish. Drink now. (08/7/23)."
