Producer notes: "The sole white wine of the estate is produced in the Roero district from an 0.80 hectare plot in Vezza d’Alba. The soil is essentially sandy in composition and sits at 340 meters altitude on south-facing slopes. The vineyard was planted in 1980. Harvest (manual) normally occurs in mid-September. The grapes are briefly macerated and the fermentation occurs at controlled temperatures (around 15 degrees Celsius) for two to three weeks. The wine rests in stainless steel until the early spring months of the following year and is usually released to the market, after several months of bottle aging, in late summer/early fall

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 marl calcareous soil that lend it an unexpected mineral complexity.
Our awaited 2021 vintage is finally in stock and likely to sell quickly since cru single vineyard pricing keeps going up. Now is the chance to get some of the normale Barolo from Brovia a wine made from Crus Brea (Ca Mia) in Serralunga, and Villero an Rocche Castiglione in Castiglione Faletto. The wine is always made in an elegant style showing a balance, a finesse and underlying power giving potential to cellar. I have long been impressed with the consistency of quality from the winery even the young vines fruit delivers. Made with traditional methods of long fermentation and aging in large Slavonian oak casks . Even when drunk young this wine will capture your palate with the fine tannin, floral notes of roses, tar and violet with flavors of dried cherry and spice. Tim Adams MacBev Italian wine guy

The 2018 Barolo Villero is laser sharp and etched with ferrous mineral notes next to wild berry, cherry, cola, campfire ash and grilled rosemary. This elegant, mid-weight wine shows a very long finish and should not disappoint on the cellar-aging front. I...
