Nanni Copé
If you happen to be looking for a genuine and pure wine story, full of authentic values and true love for wine, you must certainly come across the story of Giovanni Ascione, alias Nanni Copé.
Born as a professional and admired taster for his integrity and a natural talent that is rare, after telling the story of Sicilian, Sardinian, and Tuscan wines for a decade for Bibenda, and traveling half the world following a passion that began in France when he was twenty, he decides to start making wine. He founded the Nanni Copé winery in 2007, producing only one label, Sabbie di Sopra il Bosco; and he doesn't even think about expanding the range, "I can't even remotely imagine another label, this is it and that's all," he states emphatically to anyone who asks him.
At his second release, the Sabbie di Sopra il Bosco project, strongly desired by Giovanni, a man of combative and generous nature, is once again confirmed with the excellence obtained from all the guides in Italy, a sign that passion, professionalism, sensitivity, and rigor, qualities and values that have characterized his journey as a narrator of wine from all over the world has been of important and saving support for this incredible endeavor as a winemaker. "A life, many lives" is the motto of the company, also printed on labels and packages, symbolizing the many evolutions his existence has undergone in his 46 years of life.
The phrase accompanies the brand, and the name represents another reference to a past that is truly dear to him: the time when he loved to be called by his mother's surname, Cioppa. Talent and genius have made the realization of his project possible, which came to life in the setting of Castel Campagnano, a small village in the upper Casertano overlooking the Volturno River at 215 meters above sea level, where the vineyards on steep slopes alternate with patches of forest not far from the sea and the land is characterized by a marked sandy quality.
All this makes Sabbie di Sopra il Bosco a unique wine, of rare elegance and refinement, with a crystalline character and an incredibly fascinating taste.
