Wine Description
A long history of Barbera production, flawless winemaking and the beauty of the final wines have established a solid reputation for the Coppo family. They now apply the same excellent standards to their production of Nebbiolo. From grapes grown using traditional vineyard practices, this wine fully captures the terroir and represents the broad, complex and ageworthy profile for which the Barolo DOCG is so cherished.
Tasting Notes
This garnet wine displays layered aromas of violets, black cherries, licorice, tea and tobacco. On the palate, it shows remarkable balance and continues to unfold into a long, satisfying finish. Pairs beautifully with roasted game, pot roasts and hearty winter stews.

Piedmont Comes of Age
“[I]s an attractive mid-weight wine laced with menthol, plums, spices and dried roses. This beautifully balanced, well-spoken wine offers terrific balance in a soft, sensual expression of Nebbiolo. Today the tannins are remarkably fine which gives the wine a sense of accessibility….”

Buying Guide
“We were very impressed with this wine: its luminous color, luscious mouthfeel and intense aromas create an irresistible package. Penetrating flavors of forest berry, vanilla, violets and licorice suggest a pairing with roast quail or duck. The wine ends with food-friendly acidity and firm tannins.”
