WINE DESCRIPTION
What comes to mind when you think of a typical Italian man? Probably not someone with red hair, right? But that's precisely who this Italian red wine is named after. The first owner of the vineyard that produced this wine was a red-haired, burly man who children used to fear. And the wine was named after him. Literally, "Camp du Rouss" or "Campo del Rosso" in the Piedmontese dialect means "Field of the Red-Haired." It's quite an honor for the former owner because this wine is simply outstanding! Made from the Barbera grape, this dry red wine impresses with structured smoothness and a long finish. In the glass, it shines ruby red, and the bouquet features notes of leather, various spices, and ripe red fruits. A smooth and elegant red wine that the red-haired namesake would surely be proud of!
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Coppo Barbera d'Asti Camp du Rouss is a delightful wine that showcases the unique characteristics of the Barbera grape variety.This wine hails from the Asti region in Italy, known for producing exceptional Barbera wines.
On the nose, you can expect vibrant aromas of ripe red cherries, blackberries, and plums, accompanied by subtle hints of violet and spice. The palate is equally enticing, with a medium-bodied structure and a lively acidity that brings freshness to the wine.
The flavors of Coppo Barbera d'Asti Camp du Rouss are rich and complex, with notes of juicy red fruits, such as cherries and raspberries, mingling with earthy undertones and a touch of black pepper. The tannins are well-integrated, providing a smooth and velvety texture.
This wine is best enjoyed in its youth when its fruit-forward character is at its peak. It pairs wonderfully with a variety of dishes, including grilled meats, pasta with tomato-based sauces, and aged cheeses.
