More questions
The Barbera d'Asti DOCG L'Avvocata from Coppo shows a bright ruby color and good clarity. On the nose it presents a range of fresh and ripe red fruits, with floral hints and light spicy nuances; the aromatic profile is immediate and recognizable, without excess. On the palate it displays lively acidity that supports drinkability, soft tannins and a medium-bodied structure; the finish is clean and of good persistence, recalling the fruity notes.
On the food side it pairs easily with cured meats and tomato-based pasta, but also stands up well to white meats and medium-aged cheeses. It is a versatile choice for everyday meals or informal occasions; serving around 16–18 °C is recommended and, if desired, allowing the wine to breathe for about half an hour before serving. For those seeking an immediate experience it remains enjoyable in the months following purchase. It suits drinkers looking for a balance between freshness and distinctive aromatic character.
