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.
