Vigne Marina Coppi 'Sant'Andrea' Barbera Colli Tortonesi, Piedmont, Italy 2019 Rioja Red Blend Extremely perfumed Mouton with currantsThe 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.
