Coppo - Barbera d'Asti Pomorosso 2020

Served @ DB's Annual "Tre-Bich" Tasting. #1 Wine on the flight. 

Piero Coppo founded the winery in 1892 in the town of Canelli, in Piedmont, establishing himself as a top producer of Moscato. Piero was succeeded by his son Luigi, who expanded the company to include other classic still and sparkling wines from Piedmont, made with the native varietals of the area. Luigi also provided his winery with the facilities and equipments needed to compete in the difficult, but growing, post-war market. Today, Piero's four grandsons manage the company, successfully integrating new styles with traditional viticulture.

Just after the loss of their father Luigi in 1984, the brothers decided to focus on Barbera, releasing their own interpretation of this local grape. The prestigious Pomorosso was born, emerging as the model of the "Modern Style" Barbera, aged in oak and with unmistakable personality. Barbera, a truly native varietal, soon became the pride of the entire region.

Winemaker Notes: Intense ruby red. The characteristic red fruit, a nice touch of cocoa bean and balsamic sensation of eucalyptus. Rich and dense, with a long persistence. The back end closes in harmony with the bouquet

Pair with lamb rib in pastry, Bettelmatt cheese from Ossola valley in northern Italy, or pumpkin tortello.
