Tasting Notes

  • NOSE: Textbook Barbera aromas of crushed cherry and wild berry jam, with intense spice notes
  • TASTE: Notes of leather and herbs, a hint of smoke. Bright and luscious with soft tannins. Fine, well-structured, and long-lasting.

Bruschetta, cured meats and cheeses, roast beef or a variety of grilled proteins with rich wine sauces.

  • AGING: 12 months in 225L barriques, before 12 months of bottle aging

  • GRAPE VARIETY: 100% Barbera

  • PRODUCTION AREA: Canelli and local villages

    Wine Advocate, June 2022

    "The Coppo 2019 Barbera d'Asti Camp du Rouss is a medium-dark expression with lots of bright primary fruit and natural freshness. In truth, this is a rather informal entry-level red within the elaborate Coppo portfolio. But it is also one of the most versatile wines in the group and certainly very food friendly precisely because of that bright acidity. Production is an ample 80,000 bottles."

    Wine Advocate, July 2020

    "Barbera d'Asti is one of Italy's great food wines, especially if you are partial to cheesy pasta or pizza topped with extra mozzarella. The Coppo 2017 Barbera d'Asti Camp du Rouss is generously layered with dark fruits such as Morello cherry, black currant and plum. Those darker nuances play a big role in this hot-vintage expression. However, Barbera is always generous in terms of its acidity, and that freshness serves to balance out any fruit weight or heaviness."

    "This wine's ripe, dark-skinned fruit, culinary spice and new leather scents lead the way, along with a menthol note. The firmly structured, chewy palate offers dried Morello cherry, raspberry jam, licorice and espresso flavors alongside fine-grained tannins. Drink through 2020."
