Marina Coppi, Barbera Saint Andrea

Alcohol percentage: 13.5%

Area:
The vineyards are situated on a mid-slope at 400 metres above
sea level in a sheltered position protected from the cold northerly
winds, thus benefiting from an ideal micro-climate. There is marked
diurnal temperature variation, as well as distinct seasonal
differences, and one of the lowest levels of rainfall in Piemonte.
The soil, known as Marl of Sant’Agata, is made up of 30% sand,
55% clay and 15% limestone and is grey/light blue in colour. The
wine is named after the street Sant’Andrea in Castellania where
the Vigne Marina Coppi winery is based.

Producer:
Vigne Marina Coppi was established in 2003 in the town of
Castellania, the birthplace of Marina’s father Fausto, one of the
greatest cyclists of the 20th century. The family has taken the
traditional heritage of the area and applied a modern approach
in the winery to produce wines of excellent quality. The estate has
concentrated on the native varieties of Timorasso, Favorita,
Barbera, Nebbiolo and Croatina and works on a small scale with
four hectares of vineyard to ensure the quality of the vines shows
through. Parents Marina and Giovanni work closely with son
Francesco and his wife Anna, using sustainable methods in the
vineyard and employing great expertise in the winery.
