Red

Pomorosso

By Coppo, Asti, Piemonte, Italy

Coppo Pomorosso

This wine owes its name to a red apple tree that grows on top of the hill where the vineyards were cultivated. This is the most prestigious Barbera from Coppo, and contributed substantially to the rebirth of this variety.

Tasting notes

Color: intense ruby red. Nose: the characteristic red fruit, a nice touch of cocoa bean and balsamic sensation of eucalyptus. Taste: rich and dense, with a long persistence. The back end closes in harmony with the bouquet.

Pairs well with

Lamb rib in pastry, Bettelmatt cheese from Ossola valley, pumpkin tortello
