Tasting Coppo's Camp du Rouss: ripe red fruit and a year in oak

- Typical of Barbera
Ripe red fruit leads: cherry and raspberry, with red plum and a touch of cocoa behind them. A year in small oak barrels brings vanilla. Oak is the note drinkers mention most, with leather, pepper and liquorice behind it. Coppo's own sheet puts it in three words, ripe red fruit, and that is the heart of it.
Firmly built, yet fresh: Barbera keeps its acidity even at 15% alcohol. The tannins are silky rather than grippy, so it drinks well young. The vines grow on clay and limestone soil with a lot of silt. They sit 200 to 250 metres up, on slopes facing south and south-west.
Long and fresh, with the acidity running through the last of the fruit. "A long finish is enlivened by a vibrant streak of acidity," Decanter's tasters wrote of the 2023 in a paid-for feature, scoring it 93 points.
One of Coppo's six Barbera labels, which run from Camp du Rouss up to Pomorosso, and made since 1985. Drinkers rate the 2020 to 2023 vintages much the same and name the oak before the fruit. Open it from 2026 and drink it by 2031, with porcini risotto or pasta in a meat sauce.
Two shops sell Camp du Rouss here, one with the 2023 and one with the 2024
The 2023 is £19.50 from one shop and the 2024 about £20 from the other. The choice is the vintage rather than the price. Both are standard 75 cl bottles; Coppo's magnums and three-litre bottles are not on this page.

Where Camp du Rouss fits: food first, then an easy first Barbera
Food is the strongest card: Barbera acidity and silky tannin take on tomato sauces, mushrooms, braises and hard cheese. Beginner comes next, because the ripe cherry fruit and vanilla make it easy to like. Value sits close behind, at about £20 for a hand-picked, oak-aged Barbera.
Fresh Barbera acidity, silky tannin and ripe fruit at 15% alcohol: a red for tomato sauces, mushrooms, braises and hard cheese. Raw fish is the one thing to keep away.
Ripe cherry fruit, vanilla from the oak and soft tannin make it easy to like. The 15% alcohol and the oaky style are the only things a first-time Barbera drinker might find big.
At £19.50 for the 2023 and about £20 for the 2024 it sits at the middle of the Barbera d'Asti prices on this site; half cost less. For a hand-picked, oak-aged wine, that is fair.
A DOCG Barbera from a house founded in 1892, with UNESCO-listed cellars. At about £20 it is a confident bottle to bring to dinner rather than a grand one.
Twelve months in oak and a window to 2031 give the 2023 about five years, not fifteen. A wine to drink over the next few years rather than lay down.
About £20 and 15% alcohol make it a weekend bottle rather than a Tuesday one. Its soft tannin means it needs no special dish.

The 2023 and 2024 Camp du Rouss: a dry year, then a wet one
The 2023's drinking window runs from 2026 to 2031. We give the 2024, a far wetter year in the Asti hills, 2026 to 2030. Neither is a wine to hurry: both open from 2026.

The rain came back to the Asti hills in 2024 after two dry years. It fell from February to May and again from mid-September, with a warm, dry spell from mid-June to mid-September in between. The Barbera harvest fell in a run of showers and dry days. We would open the 2024 from 2026 and drink it by 2030.

Perfect Pairings
Dishes that go with this wine
Pasta with beans, porcini risotto, chicken cacciatore: Coppo's own pairings
Coppo's list for Camp du Rouss is pasta e fagioli, risotto with porcini mushrooms and chicken cacciatore. What makes them work is the acidity Barbera keeps even at 15% alcohol. It cuts the beans and the butter in the risotto and meets the tomato in the chicken.
Tomato and meat sauces on pasta
Barbera's acidity matches the acidity of tomato, so neither tastes sour next to the other. The ripe fruit and silky tannin of Camp du Rouss sit under a slow-cooked meat sauce without fighting it. Pasta e fagioli, pasta and bean soup, is the first dish on Coppo's own list.
Try with: Ragu alla bolognese · Lasagna · Pasta alla Norma · Agnolotti del Plin · More pairings →
Porcini mushroom risotto and truffle pasta
A year in oak gives Camp du Rouss leather, spice and a touch of cocoa, the same earthy register as porcini and truffle. The fruit stays bright enough to lift a buttery risotto. Risotto with porcini is on Coppo's own list for this wine.
Try with: Porcini mushroom risotto · Truffle risotto · Tajarin al Tartufo · Tagliatelle al tartufo di Acqualagna · More pairings →
Braised beef and slow roasts
Fat and long cooking call for a red with fresh acidity and weight, and this Barbera has both at 15% alcohol. The acidity cuts through the richness of a braise, and the ripe fruit matches the sweetness of slow-cooked meat.
Try with: Brasato al Barolo · Ossobuco alla Milanese · Bollito dei Pastori · Sunday Roast Beef · More pairings →
Chicken cacciatore and roast birds
Chicken cooked with tomato, olives and herbs, cacciatore style, is the third dish on Coppo's list for this wine. The meat softens what tannin there is, and the sauce meets the wine's acidity head on. Roast chicken or duck with a pan gravy works the same way.
Try with: Roast chicken · Roast Duck · Duck breast · Cotoletta alla bolognese
Hard cheeses and cured meats
Salt in an aged cheese or a slice of cured meat tames tannin and takes the edge off 15% alcohol. The fruit in this Barbera then tastes riper. A piece of hard cheese with Camp du Rouss at the end of a meal is the simplest match on this page.
Try with: Cheese board · Strong cheddar cheese · Pecorino sardo e pan carasau · Gnocco fritto
Raw fish, oysters and delicate white fish
Tannin and 15% alcohol meet raw or lightly cooked seafood and turn metallic and bitter, and the oak flattens the fish. Keep Camp du Rouss for meat, mushrooms and cheese. For oysters pour a dry Italian white such as Gavi, which Coppo also makes.
Skip with: Oysters · Nigiri Sushi · Scottish Smoked Salmon · Steamed sea bass · Ceviche · Pairing guide →
Keeping Camp du Rouss: five years, not fifteen
The 2023's window ends in 2031. Coppo lists half bottles, magnums and three-litre bottles as well as the 75 cl. The two shops here sell only the 75 cl. Open the 2023 and the 2024 from 2026.
For the main offer above.
A short splash decant softens the first-pour edge and opens the aromatics.
Aim for the cooler end on a warm day; warmer end opens up more aromatics.
Twelve months in oak and a window to 2031 give the 2023 about five years, not fifteen. A wine to drink over the next few years rather than lay down.
£19.50 for a 75cl bottle of the 2023, at XtraWine, is the best price we track, and we have no signal of further discounting.

Common Questions
"Field of the red-haired man" in Piedmontese dialect: "camp" is a vineyard and "du rouss" means of the red-haired one. Coppo named the wine after the first owner of the vineyards, who had red hair.
100% Barbera. The vines grow on slopes facing south and south-west, 200 to 250 metres up in the hills south of Asti. The soil is clay and limestone with a lot of silt. The wine carries the Barbera d'Asti DOCG name.
The grapes are picked by hand in September, choosing the healthiest and ripest bunches in the vineyard, and carried in 20 kg crates. The wine ferments on its skins with short, gentle pump-overs and then spends twelve months in small oak barrels. Coppo has made it since 1985.
The 2023 label reads 15% alcohol. Drink the 2023 between 2026 and 2031, the window given with its 93 points in a paid-for Decanter feature of October 2026. We would give the 2024 until 2030. Serve it at 16 to 18 C.
Two shops sell it on this page: one has the 2023 at £19.50, the other the 2024 at about £20. The choice is the vintage rather than the price. Coppo also makes half bottles, magnums and three-litre bottles, but both shops here sell the standard 75 cl.
Coppo's own list is pasta e fagioli, risotto with porcini mushrooms and chicken cacciatore. Its fresh acidity and silky tannin also suit tomato and meat sauces on pasta, braised beef and hard cheese. Keep it away from raw fish and oysters.
