"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."

"An opulent red, delivering broad brushstrokes of cherry, plum, tar and sweet spices. It has assertive tannins, with enough ripe fruit to balance. Fine length. Drink now through 2025. 150 cases imported."

"This is one of those fortunate wines that enjoys special recognition as its own brand, Pomorosso. It's also one of the pioneers of the recently minted Nizza denomination. Coppo has been making Pomorosso since 1984 and has learned a thing or two along the way. The 2017 Nizza Pomorosso is an excellent edition from a vintage that mistreated many of Piedmont's other varieties because of scorching summer heat. However, Barbera loves the heat, and this wine has absorbed every last sunbeam, adding to the wine's inner richness and concentration. Dark fruit, black currant, spice, tobacco and barbecue smoke rise from the bouquet. The aromas are big, but so is the wine's hold and grip on the palate. I taste the heat (this bottle declares a 16% alcohol content), but fresh acidity keeps the wine from feeling too heavy or ripe."

"In production since the 1984 vintage, this historic wine is now part of the newly minted Nizza appellation. A pure expression of Barbera, the 2016 Nizza Pomorosso shows a savory side of spice, tobacco and tar that is balanced out by plummy dark fruit. This wine is deep, sophisticated and powerful, making it a good pairing partner to braised or boiled beef with an English mint sauce. There is a subtle note of sweetness that adds succulence and softness to the finish."

"The 2016 Barbera d'Asti Pomorosso shows how captivating top-flight Barbera is. Exotic and flamboyantly ripe, the 2016 possesses terrific depth and intensity in all of its dimensions. Blackberry jam, crème de cassis, licorice, lavender and cloves add nuance in an unctuous, deeply flavored Barbera that is full of character."
