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.
The purest summary of Arneis. It comes from grapes of different vineyards, all within the Montà d’Alba area, a sandy terroir with a high elevation. Only steel, to enhance the original character of Arneis and its floral fragrances, enriched by the salty accent of its sandy terroir.
