When the weather turns cold and root vegetables fill the dinner table, our thoughts turn towards wines like this one, Cantine Coppo’s Barbera d’Asti. A winery in the heart of Barbera country, Coppo is among the foremost producers of Barbera’s new prestige appellation Nizza. All their wines come with rich, deep flavors and densely structured texture. Camp du Rouss is named for the original owner of the vineyard, a giant man with fiery red hair. Under the direction of Coppo, the vineyard still produces some of the fullest bodied Barbera in Asti. The aromas are equally full and savory. Leather and tomato leaf, black cherry cordial and tamarind, soil from the herb garden and tamari. When the wine hits the palate, there’s pie cherries and oak spices to accompany the soulful, earthy elements. Velvety tannins neatly wrap this rib-sticking wine. Put it next to rib roasts and stews, potatoes and any dish that spends the afternoon in the oven.
