Vigne Marina Coppi Barbera Sant’Andrea Colli Tortonesi 2019 750 ML

Introduction

Dark purple in colour and black plums on the nose. This is super juicy and smooth drinking. Producer Information Francesco Bellocchio purchased a small vineyard in Castellania, a small village in the Colli Tortonesi region of Piedmont. This 4.5 hectare (11 acre) plot of land was truly special to Francesco. His grandfather, Fausto Coppi, was born in Castellania and was the original owner of the vineyard. Fausto died before Francesco was born, however, the family genes for determination to be the best had been passed down. Fausto Coppi was a legendary cyclist who from 1940-1953 won the Giro dItalia five times, the Tour of France twice, and the World Championship. Grandfather Fausto and Marina, Faustos daughter and Francescos mother, are Francescos daily inspiration to do his very best. He honored them by naming the winery after Marina and his Timorasso after Fausto. Francesco studied winemaking, then coaxed his wife, Anna, to join him in founding Vigne Marina Coppi in 2003.
