The Nizza “Pomorosso” by Coppo is born in Canelli, the capital of the Classic Method in Italy and home to high-quality reds. The history of the Coppo winery began in 1892, and from generation to generation, respect for the ecosystem, maximum care for the vineyards and each individual plant, and a courageous vision for the future have always been the fundamental goals to achieve and maintain. In addition to the national market, production also successfully targets the international market, reaching South America and the United States. Today, the fourth generation at work is represented by Luigi Coppo, who looks to the future of his family's business and the sustainability of every single production process.
The pure Barbera grapes of the Nizza “Pomorosso” by Coppo grow on soil mainly composed of marl, clay, and limestone with small amounts of gypsum and iron for an elegant and characterful final product. The vineyards are located in the southern part of the Asti territory, a perfect position for the sun's rays to consistently hit the rows, ensuring perfect ripening of the grapes; the altitude, however, is about about 200 meters above sea level. The harvest takes place in wooden boxes of about 20 kg with a selection of the healthiest grapes; in the winery, there is a brief maceration in contact with the skins with delicate pump-overs, along with a malolactic fermentation. It ages for 14 months in barrique.
The color of the Nizza “Pomorosso” by Coppo is an intense purple red with brilliant reflections. On the nose, there are notes of violet, blackberry, and cherry with a mineral finish reminiscent of graphite; on the palate, it is elegant, enveloping, and pleasantly tannic with a persistent finish that calls for glass after glass. It pairs perfectly with dishes based on grilled red meat, stews, and game; also perfect with aged cow's milk cheeses. Excellent for celebrating occasions and anniversaries with family, enjoying a traditional product that is an ideal ambassador of the authentic flavors of Piemonte.
