The Vigne Marina Coppi 2017 Colli Tortonesi Favorita Marine is a fresh and snappy white wine that drinks easily, thanks to its fresh aromas of citrus, crushed oyster shell and honeydew melon. This is a lean-bodied wine with lots of zesty freshness and a good many citrusy high notes. I’d pair this pretty white with grilled zucchini garnished with mint. Production was down in this vintage, with 1,656 bottles made. 2020 – 2024
