Vigne Marina Coppi 'Sant'Andrea' Barbera Colli Tortonesi, Piedmont, Italy 2019 Maison Louis De Grenelle I love the vinous intensity

I love the vinous intensity here

the yeast known as kuratsuki kobo is especially unique as it exists naturally within the brewery itself

Made from Müller-Thurgau grapes

with buttery brioche ringing on the full finish

Notes of marzipan on the nose and the palate give toastiness and leesy notes

Vigne Marina Coppi 'Sant'Andrea' Barbera Colli Tortonesi, Piedmont, Italy 2019 Maison Louis De Grenelle I love the vinous intensityThe iconic Colli Tortonesi estate, Vigne Marina Coppi is best known for making great Timorasso but this everyday red maintains a youthful profile despite the relatively long ageing 10 months in stainless steel plus eight months in bottle. Violets, bramble fruit, cocoa powder and blood orange define a medium weight palate with plump dark fruit upfront, almost imperceptible tannins and an invigorating bead of mouthwatering acidity.
