"Showing an inky dark appearance, the Coppo 2021 Nizza Pomorosso is a rich and chewy expression of Barbera with cooked cherry and blackberry preserves. This bottle packs a powerful punch with thickly concentrated fruit, hints of tea leaf and tobacco that add a slightly bitter aftertaste."- Robert Parker's Wine Advocate.
About the Winery: This wine owes its name to a red apple tree that grows on top of the hill where the vineyards were cultivated. This is the most prestigious Barbera from Coppo and contributed substantially to the rebirth of this variety. Because of its historical significance, Coppo is among the few wineries allowed to vinify Nebbiolo to become Barolo outside of the wine’s strict production area. The vineyards are located in the South of Asti with Southern exposure. The soil is composed of calcareous clay marl with prevalence of silt, between the altitude of 650-820 ft. The historical underground wine cellars of Coppo are a UNESCO World Heritage site. They are part of the network of underground cathedrals, a temple of wine dedicated to its history and the hard work of their history. Built beginning in the late 18th century, initially intended as small cellars to conserve wine, they were expanded from 1800-1900 to what they are today. The historical wine cellars of Coppo extend under the hill of Canelli for a total of 5 thousand square meters (16,400 ft) and a depth that reaches 40 meters (130 ft).
