Tenuta La Rocca
By Coppo, Asti, Piemonte, Italy
Coppo has managed the Tenuta La Rocca in Monterotondo in the town of Gavi since the mid-1980s. Gavi is made entirely from the Cortese grape, one of the region's oldest native varieties. Gavi La Rocca comes from marly-calcareous soils that lend it an unexpected mineral complexity.
Tasting notes
Color: bright straw yellow. Nose: ripe fruity hints of white peach, closes with a nice citric suggestion of orange skin, mineral notes. Taste: opens with an enveloping sensation balanced by a good acidity. Persistent and saline.
Pairs well with
Pine nut and swordfish pasta, shellfish and mollusk, puntarelle alla romana
