Coppo Barbera d'Asti L'Avvocata 2025

Coppo L’Avvocata Barbera d’Asti 2025 is a vibrant expression of Barbera from Piedmont’s historic Asti region. With its vivid fruit, refreshing acidity and subtle oak influence, it combines the grape’s naturally energetic character with the heritage of Coppo, a winery whose history stretches back to the 17th century. The name pays tribute to the vineyard’s original, famously strict owner—a playful contrast to the wine’s generous and lively personality.

Tasting Notes
The wine displays a deep ruby-red colour with attractive violet highlights. On the nose, intense aromas of ripe cherry and raspberry are complemented by delicate red-flower notes and subtle hints of dark spice, quinine bark and rhubarb. On the palate, it is juicy, full-bodied and beautifully refreshed by Barbera’s naturally lively acidity. Fine-grained tannins provide balance, while the finish is persistent, dry and gently almond-like. Its freshness makes it approachable in its youth, while careful cellaring should allow the fruit, oak and structure to knit together further over the next few years.

Production
The grapes come from Coppo’s vineyards around Canelli in southern Asti, where gently rolling hills sit between 150 and 400 metres above sea level with predominantly south- and southwest-facing exposures. The temperate climate supports even ripening while preserving Barbera’s characteristic freshness. Clay-limestone marl, rich in silt, contributes a subtle savoury and saline quality to the wine. The grapes are harvested by hand and undergo skin maceration with gentle remontage. Both alcoholic and malolactic fermentation take place in stainless-steel tanks to preserve aromatic clarity, followed by a focused period of maturation in large oak casks before further refinement in steel and bottle.

Food & Serving
Serve lightly chilled at around 16–18°C. Its combination of juicy fruit and refreshing acidity makes it a versatile partner for Piedmontese dishes, roast chicken, veal, grilled sausages, mushroom pasta, pizza and medium-aged cheeses. Decanting is not essential when serving the wine young, but a short 20–30 minute decant can help open its aromas and soften the oak and tannins.

Producer
Founded in the 17th century, Coppo is one of the historic names of Canelli and an important reference point in Piedmontese wine. The estate is closely associated with Canelli’s remarkable underground cathedrals—historic winery cellars recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Through wines such as L’Avvocata, Coppo continues to highlight the energy and authenticity of regional varieties while combining traditional cellar heritage with precise, modern winemaking.
