Vigne Marina Coppi 'Sant'Andrea' Barbera Colli Tortonesi, Piedmont, Italy 2019 Rioja Red Blend Smooth & refreshing like meltingThe 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.
