Description

The Coppo 'La Rocca' Gavi DOCG is a quintessential expression of Piedmont’s most celebrated white wine. Produced by the historic Coppo winery—renowned for its UNESCO World Heritage underground wine cathedrals in Canelli—this wine is crafted exclusively from the Cortese grape, a native variety that thrives in the marly-calcareous soils of the Gavi region.

In the glass, it presents a bright, pale straw-yellow hue. The nose is inviting and elegant, characterized by fragrant bouquets of white peach and delicate floral notes, underpinned by a distinct, sophisticated minerality often described as flinty or saline. On the palate, the wine is beautifully balanced; it is dry and crisp with a lively acidity that makes it exceptionally refreshing. You will find flavors of zesty citrus, such as lime and grapefruit, mingled with stone fruits and a subtle, savory finish that leaves the palate clean and wanting another sip.

This is a remarkably versatile wine that captures the essence of the Italian summer. Its crispness and mineral complexity make it a perfect companion for a variety of dishes. It is an outstanding choice as an aperitif, where it can be enjoyed on its own or with light starters. For food pairings, its structure shines when served alongside fresh seafood, such as oysters, shrimp scampi, or grilled white fish. It also pairs wonderfully with delicate vegetable-based dishes, such as pasta with herbs, risotto, or even Japanese sushi. Whether you are hosting a summer gathering or looking for a refined, 'easy-to-drink' white wine to elevate a weeknight meal, the Coppo La Rocca Gavi is a consistent and delightful choice that exemplifies the quality and tradition of the Piedmont region.
