Greetings!
We have the Coppo Pomorosso Barbera d'Asti Superiore Nizza 2017 in stock and ready to ship.
Barbera d'Asti is grown on the hillsides around the town of Asti in the Piedmont region of Italy. The local cuisine of this region resembles that of a Brazilian steak house after a one night stand with a French bistro. The Northwestern part of Italy, where Piedmont resides, borders France. Due to this close proximity, the Italian's daily diets have been influenced by the French in a few ways. Namely butter, egg, and cream, along with some pastry like breads.
These rich ingredients combined with the local's love for meat causes a demand for wine that can hold up to these rich and fatty foods. That's where Barbera d'Asti comes in. Barbera grown in this region is a bit softer than what one would find in the neighboring town of Alba. It is more approachable and ready to consume just after a few years of bottle age.
Review:
This is one of those fortunate wines that enjoys special recognition as its own brand, Pomorosso. It's also one of the pioneers of the recently minted Nizza denomination. Coppo has been making Pomorosso since 1984 and has learned a thing or two along the way. The 2017 Nizza Pomorosso is an excellent edition from a vintage that mistreated many of Piedmont's other varieties because of scorching summer heat. However, Barbera loves the heat, and this wine has absorbed every last sunbeam, adding to the wine's inner richness and concentration. Dark fruit, black currant, spice, tobacco and barbecue smoke rise from the bouquet. The aromas are big, but so is the wine's hold and grip on the palate. I taste the heat (this bottle declares a 16% alcohol content), but fresh acidity keeps the wine from feeling too heavy or ripe.
