ALTA LANGA DOCG
Luigi Coppo
Luigi, who took over the winery after his father Piero Coppo, found himself faced with a difficult period following the flood of 1948. His tenacity and determination pulled the winery through and even led improvements in modern restructuring and adopting innovative technologies. This sparkling wine is dedicated to Luigi and to everyone who pushes ahead in the face of adversity.
