About this wine
Vineyard and terroir
The vineyards lie at 270–450 m above sea level and face east–west. Their soils combine clay marl with chalky rocks formed from marine sediments. The vines are trained using the Guyot system.
Grapes
Pinot Nero and Chardonnay.
Vinification
Harvest takes place in August. The healthiest and ripest bunches are selected in the vineyard and picked by hand into 20 kg crates. The grapes undergo gentle pressing, followed by temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel. Malolactic fermentation is completed.
The secondary fermentation takes place in the bottle according to the traditional method.
Ageing
The wine remains in bottle on its lees for 30 months.
Tasting profile
Golden straw yellow with greenish reflections and a fine perlage. The current wine page presents a fresh nose with characteristic bread-and-yeast notes and fruity sensations, followed by a dry, vigorous and vertical palate. The linked technical sheet gives a more specific but different profile: intense and fragrant, with fresh apple followed by bread and yeast, then dry, fresh and delicate on the palate.
Serving and pairing
Serve at 6–8 °C. Suitable as an aperitif and with cured meats, mortadella, anchovies, fried fish, fried baby squid or steamed langoustines.
Available in 750 ml and 1.5 L bottles.
Label / history
The wine is dedicated to Luigi Coppo, who succeeded founder Piero Coppo. After the destructive flood of 1948, his perseverance helped modernize the cellars and introduce innovative technology. This pas dosé sparkling wine also honors those who refuse to yield in the face of adversity.
