Description
The wine owes its name to the presence of a red apple tree at the top of the original vineyard. Undoubtedly the most prestigious Barbera among those produced by Coppo has made an essential contribution to the revival of this vine. Pomorosso, produced only in vintages of great quality, comes from a soil of marine sedimentary origin, characterised by a strong presence of minerals that give the wine great finesse, minerality and longevity.

Coppo’s history is one of tradition and bold vision for the future, of sacrifice and innovation. It is a story of the unconditional love that Coppo has for their vines’ origins, for varieties that have always been cultivated in Piedmont, and for old family traditions.
The origins of the winery date back to 1892. For over 120 years, the family has remained the sole owner. Since the beginning, the Coppo family has managed estate vineyards and bottled their wine under the name of Coppo, making it one of the oldest family-run wineries in all of Italy.
In fact, in 2012, the Chamber of Commerce added the winery to the national register of historical businesses, highlighting its uninterrupted activity for over a century in the sector. Read more
