NIZZA DOCG RISERVA
RdF
Since 1998, RdF has been the ultimate expression of the Barbera. Years of careful winemaking have led to the identification of small plots of exceptional value, unique for the potential they offer. This gave rise to the idea of a reserve produced in limited quantities and only in the best vintages, representing the pinnacle of quality and style in Coppo’s production philosophy.
