Marina Coppi "Francesca" Vineyards - Tortona Hills

"Francesca" is the first of the Timorasso dei Colli Tortonesi battery produced by the Vigne Marina Coppi company. Fresh and mineral, enriched by a brief refinement of a few months on the noble lees.

The wine of Francesco Bellocchio and Marina Coppi, daughter of Fausto Coppi, could not be missing from our shop.

Vigne Marina Coppi is in Castellania. The company grows native red grape varieties that have always been grown in the area: Barbera, Nebbiolo, Croatina and the white grape varieties Favorita and Timorasso.

There production is small and artisanal, approximately 25 thousand bottles per year.

The varieties are vinified in purity (except for the Barbera “Sant'Andrea”, to which a hint of Croatina is added) for a total of 7 labels produced.

3 lines for Timorasso, from the freshest “Francesca”, with a short stay on the noble lees, passing through the “Fausto” and finally the “Grand' Fostó”, in honour of the cycling champion Fausto Coppi, which rests on the noble lees in tonneaux for 12 months.

Then Favorita to finish with the whites and Barbera and Nebbiolo for the reds.

The care in managing the vineyard and the practices in the cellar remain constant, aimed at enhancing the greatness of the territory through an extraordinary quality of the grapes and greatness of the wines.
