This is a medium to light body fruity red, with notes of cherry, cranberry and earth flavors, all lifted by bright acidity. The acidity is integrated and there are some spicy notes on the long finish.

WINE INFORMATION

The history of Coppo winery is inextricably wound with the wine history of Piedmont. The origins back to 1892. For over 120 years, the family has remained the sole proprietor. Since the very beginning, the Coppo family has managed estate vineyards and bottled their own wine under the name of Coppo, making it one of the oldest family-run wineries in all of Italy.

The historical underground wine cellars of Coppo are a UNESCO World Heritage site. They are part of the network of underground cathedrals, a temple of wine dedicated to its history and the hard work of their history. Built beginning in the late 18th century, initially intended as small cellars to conserve wine, they were expanded from 1800-1900 to what they are today. The vineyards are located in the South of Asti with Southern exposure. The soil is composed of calcareous clay marl with prevalence of silt, between the altitudes of 650-820 ft.

Harvest begins with a strict selection in vineyards of the healthiest, ripest grapes that were hand collected in 40 lb baskets. The maceration with the grape skins is short with soft pumping over the skin cap. Full malolactic fermentation takes place and aging is completed in stainless steel tanks.

This wine is named after the vineyard owner, a lawyer (avvocata). Strict, stern, and commanding, she has always been known as “the lawyer”.
