Barbera d'Asti Superiore Nizza DOCG Riserva della Famiglia 2020 - Coppo

A Barbera from Nizza, made by Coppo from the 2020 vintage. It comes from a small cru at Castelnuovo Calcea and is produced only in exceptional years, in very few bottles. The grapes are strictly selected, macerate on the skins with malolactic fermentation and brief pump-overs, then age for a long time in French oak barriques. It is a wine of considerable structure, suited to substantial dishes. On the nose it shows blackberry, plum, berries, graphite, cocoa, spice and light mineral nuances. The palate is rich, warm, full-bodied and enveloping, with a long, very persistent finish. It pairs well with finely prepared red meats, game and aged cheeses such as Castelmagno.
