Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Coppo Pomorosso is an intense ruby red. Aromas of 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.

Professional Ratings

    The Coppo 2018 Nizza Pomorosso is saturated and rich with plenty of dark cherry fruit and baked raspberry. Made with the Barbera grape and sporting a noticeable 16% alcohol content, the wine is powerful and impactful on the palate. You'll need to pair this hearty red wine with a red meat dish, such as a steak with a mushroom cream sauce. The wine closes with a second round of bruising intensity and more flavors of blackberry preserves and plum. All that ample fruit is framed by spice, tar and Spanish cedar.

    COMMENTARY: The 2018 Coppo Pomorosso Nizza Barbera d'Asti is a robust red wine. TASTING NOTES: This wine shows aromas and flavors of bold, ripe fruits, hints of spice, licorice, and oaky notes. Pair it with a thick slice of prime rib. (Tasted: December 27, 2022, San Francisco, CA)

    Well-marked by oaky elements, this Barbera is fresh and sleek, offering violet, blackberry and blueberry flavors shaded by vanilla and toast notes.

Coppo Canelli Vineyard Winery Image
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.

The four brothers Piero, Gianni, Paolo and Roberto have set an ambitious goal: to resurrect the traditional red varietals from the Asti region, and to produce serious white wines with aging potential. This is a new generation of winegrowers with a new way of viewing agriculture. Although they are considered to be "Barbera specialists", they also produce an outstanding Moscato d'Asti and an excellent Gavi.

Friendly and approachable, Barbera produces wines in a wide range of styles, from youthful, fresh and fruity to serious, structured and age-worthy. Piedmont is the most famous source of Barbera; those from Asti and Alba garner the most praise. Barbera actually can adapt to many climates and enjoys success in some New World regions. Somm Secret—In the past it wasn’t common or even accepted to age Barbera in oak but today both styles—oaked and unoaked—abound and in fact most Piedmontese producers today produce both styles.

Recognized as the source of the best Barbera in all of Italy, Asti is a province (as well as major city) in Piedmont, consisting of a gentle, rolling landscape with vineyards, farmland and forests alternating throughout.

Barbera d’Asti can be made in an array of styles from relatively straightforward, fruity and ready for consumption early, to the more concentrated, oak aged version with an ability to cellar impressively for 10-15 years and beyond. Some of the very best sites for Barbera in Asti are concentrated in the subzone of Nizza Monferrato. Other red varieties grown here include Freisa, Grignolino and Dolcetto, which can be bottled varietally or blended into Barbera.

Historically consumers commonly associated the Asti region with Asti Spumante and Moscato d’Asti, both playful, aromatic, sparkling wines made from the Muscat grape. Asti Spumante is less sweet, fully fizzy and more alcoholic (yet still clocking in at only around 9% alcohol) while Moscato d’Asti is sweeter, gently sparkling (“frizzante”) and closer to 5 or 6% alcohol. Each is produced in stainless steel tanks to preserve the fresh and fruity flavors of the grape, often including peach, apricot, lychee and rose petal. Asti is also the spot for the pink-hued Brachetto d'Acqui, a slightly sparkling wine ready to charm with its raspberry and rose flavors and aromas.
