Coppo Gavi 'La Rocca' (2020)

Coppo has managed Tenuta La Rocca in Monterotondo (Gavi) since the mid-1980s. Gavi is a classic white Piedmontese wine, made entirely from Cortese grape. It is one of the region’s oldest native varieties. Its name derives from the wine’s original consumer - the noble court, corte in Italian. La Rocca comes from marly calcareous soil that lend it an unexpected mineral complexity.

Bright straw yellow. Ripe fruity hints of white peach, it closes with a nice citric suggestion of orange skin. Mineral notes. 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 roma.
