Coppo
"Camp du Rouss" 
 Barbera D'Asti 
100% Barbera

2016
Barbera, Piedmont, Italy
Literally campo del rosso, or “the redhead’s field” (in Piedmontese, “camp” means vineyard and “du rouss” means red hair),
this wine takes its name from the vineyard’s very first owner: a crazy red-headed man who was so burly that he frightened the town’s children.


90 Points The Wine Enthusiast
“You’ll find alluring aromas of black-skinned fruit and exotic spice on this full-bodied red.
On the structured palate, fine-grained tannins support dried cherry, blackberry and clove while a hint of coffee bean closes the finish."

90 Points The Wine Spectator
“Bright and polished, displaying black cherry, raspberry, floral and oak spice flavors.
Fluid and harmonious, with a long, resonant finish."

Our Thoughts on this wine.....

This very dark ruby colored Barbera is a bit rustic.
It opens with an oaky cherry cola bouquet with a hint of plum.
On the palate, this wine is medium bodied and balanced.
The flavor profile features black olive, black cherry, blended with hints of dark fruit, balsamic and nutmeg.
The finish is dry and its mild tannins and flavors subtly drift away.
Pair with pasta, red sauce, risotto with mushrooms, any chicken dish or medium bodied cheeses.

 A bit about Coppo .....

LOYAL DEDICATION TO THE TRADITIONS OF THE ASTI REGION

The Coppo winery was founded by Piero Coppo in 1892 in Canelli, the undisputed capital of Italy’s famed sweet, sparkling wine, Moscato d’Asti. After surviving two world wars, Piero’s son Luigi expanded the winery with improved equipment to produce other classic Piedmont varieties like Barbera and Nebbiolo to cater to a new post-war audience.
Coppo is probably best known as a Barbera d’Asti specialist, producing three distinct Barberas: L’Avvocata, Camp du Rouss, Pomorosso. To this day, the winery also produces a superb Moscato d’Asti, a bright Gavi, and a Chardonnay (Costebianche).

Today, Piero’s four grandsons, Piero, Gianni, Paolo and Roberto manage the company combining modern technology with traditional viticulture practices. With Max and Luigi Coppo entering the company, the family celebrates its fourth generation in business and re-dedicates itself to preserving the heritage of Piedmont viticulture.
