The name refers to the characteristic cupped stones found among the terraced vineyards, ancient remnants that dot the landscape where this wine is born. Thanks to enviable sun exposure and poor, rocky soils, the grapes reach perfect ripeness, offering a sip that blends verticality with warmth. In the glass, it reveals a transparent and luminous ruby red color, which develops noble garnet highlights over time. The bouquet is a seductive weave of dried rose, violet, and crisp red berries, enriched by a chalky minerality and a hint of fine spices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003eOn the palate, Le Coppelle stands out for its vibrant elegance and silky structure. The tannic texture is dense yet extremely smooth, supported by a citrusy freshness that makes the tasting experience dynamic and profound. The finish is remarkably persistent, leaving a lingering taste of bitter almond and wild berries. This Sassella is the ideal companion for refined dishes such as porcini mushroom risotto, roasted white meats, or medium-aged goat cheeses. Its natural grace also makes it perfect for those seeking a mountain Nebbiolo that combines immediate drinkability with an extraordinary aging potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003eThe wine Valtellina Sup.

While the family’s primary brand embodies long-standing Valtellina traditions, Caven was established as a dedicated project to elevate the Alpine Nebbiolo (locally called Chiavennasca) through \"heroic\" viticulture and rigorous parcel selection.\u0026nbsp;The name refers to a historic area in Teglio famous for ancient rock carvings, highlighting a deep-rooted connection to the land. Caven’s philosophy moves away from high-volume production to focus on low yields and meticulous care of vineyards located in the DOCG’s most prestigious crus, such as Inferno, Sassella, and Grumello. Here, amidst dizzying slopes and dry-stone walls, the winery expresses a character that is muscular yet remarkably clean.\u0026nbsp;Compared to the classic Pietro Nera line, Caven wines are distinguished by a more complex structure and superior aging potential, the result of careful refinement that softens the natural austerity of the mountain grape. In short, it serves as the family’s \"private reserve\"—a high-quality laboratory where the raw power of the Valtellina rock meets contemporary, international technical elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cantina Caven","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57218318270799,"sku":"1256","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0617\/4261\/2618\/files\/coppelle.webp?v=1773244740","url":"https:\/\/vinaidelborgo.com\/en-us\/products\/valtellina-superiore-sassella-le-coppelle-docg-caven","provider":"Vinai del Borgo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
