Founded in 1892 by Piero Coppo, the history of Coppo wineries is closely linked to that of Canelli and its winemaking community. Piero Coppo, founder of the company, married Clelia Pennone, heir to Cantine Pio Pennone, a family already active in the wine industry for two generations. Between the 1970s and 1980s, with the advent of the new generation in the company, a real “turning point” took place, while continuing the family tradition. Inspired by the great French wines imported by their father, the four brothers imprint their personal style in the production of Metodo Classico sparkling wines and Chardonnay, aspiring to create white wines capable of great complexity and longevity. Beginning in the early 1980s, their commitment to the development of Barbera and Chardonnay varietals strengthened their international recognition, with Pomorosso, Monteriolo and the two Family Reserves as the most valuable interpretations.
In 2021, the Coppo wineries were acquired by the Lanci-Soldadino family, which undertook major structural investments and acquisitions of new vineyards. Today, the winery covers about 85 hectares of estate vineyards located in the most important wine-growing areas of Piedmont, producing a wide range of high-quality wines.
Inspired by tradition, the production of Coppo Cellars includes white wines, red wines and, of course, sparkling wines, and with the new ownership, wines from estate-owned cru of excellence such as Barolo Bussia and Barolo Ravera have entered the scene.
Part of the Coppo Cellars are the “Underground Cathedrals,” declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2014, which have been used over the centuries for the aging of wines, testifying to the historical, cultural and oenological importance of these cellars.In the course of the expansion works initiated by the new ownership, a rocky outcrop came to light, dating from between 13 and 6 million years ago, or the Miocene geological epoch.It consists mainly of marls and sandstones, confirming the existence of an ancient shallow sea that once occupied the hilly and lowland area of Piedmont.
