Chardonnay doc Riserva della Famiglia Coppo 2015

The Chardonnay Riserva della Famiglia Coppo is a fresh and fragrant white wine, produced with Chardonnay grapes grown in the hills around the Canelli district. Produced in a very limited number of bottles and only in exceptional years, the Chardonnay Riserva della famiglia Coppo has a beautiful intense straw yellow color, golden and bright. In the nose it develops complex and fruity aromas, with hints of exotic fruit and chamomile in addition to a slight mineral note. The taste is soft and enveloping with a slight mineral flavor on the finish. The Chardonnay Riserva della Famiglia di Coppo is perfect to drink in combination with main courses of fish, sushi, mature cheeses or Thai cuisine.

The history of this cave is strictly connected with the country where it is collocated, Canelli. In the first years of 1900, the founder Piero Coppo began to create sparkling wine, that earns lot of success; but some years later, the winery passed to Piero’s son, Luigi, who introduced new innovative procedures that are able to go beyond the hard situation after the war. The sons of Luigi increased the family’s property, which included Moscato, Barbera and Freisa wines, by introducing Chardonnay and Cabernet vineyards, too. The purpose of this cave is always the same: look after the products in all their aspects, in order to obtain excellent wines. Today the cave has 52 hectares of vineyards, which are situated in the locality of Canelli and they benefit of a good exposition, above all due to their position.
