Coppo Pomorosso Barbera d'Asti Superiore Nizza DOCG 2020

Critical Acclaim: 90 pts Wine Enthusiast.

Winemaker's Tasting Notes: Color: dark purplish red. Nose: scents of spice and tobacco, violets, blackberry and ripe cherry. Taste: well-structured and round, long finish. 

"Bold and unapologetic, this wine leaps from the glass with forward aromas of dark fruit such as blackberry, black cherry, and cassis, accompanied by creamy, oak-driven notes. On the palate, it reveals its audacious nature, showcasing a substantial body and polished texture, with concentrated flavors of ripe black fruits and a hint of dark chocolate, making it a distinctively rich and opulent expression." - Wine Enthusiast.

Pairing Suggestions: Red meats, wild game, aged cheeses.

About the Winery: 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).

Varietal: Barbera.
