About This Product

Oscar Copertino 2020 comes from carefully selected indigenous grapes grown within the Copertino DOP zone. Controlled fermentation gives the wine its intense colour and persistent bouquet of ripe forest fruits and spices. Aged around 24 months in barrique, it has a harmonious, generous and velvety character, pairing well with spicy first courses, braised meats and aged cheeses.

Serving Suggestions & Cooking Instructions

Spicy & Robust First Courses: This wine is a natural partner for “spicy first courses.” Serve it with Orecchiette with Nduja or a fiery Arrabbiata. The velvety texture of the wine coats the palate, helping to balance the heat of the chilli.

Braised Meats: The structural depth of the 2020 vintage makes it “ideal for braised meats.” Pair it with Ox Cheek slow-cooked in Negroamaro or a rich lamb shank. The forest-fruit aromas provide a brilliant lift to the deep, savoury flavours of the meat.

The Mature Cheese Board: Pair with Aged Cheeses that have a bit of a “bite,” such as a 24-month Pecorino Riserva or an extra-mature Provolone. The spice notes in the wine mirror the piquant notes of the cheese.

Service Temperature: To appreciate the full “velvety character” and the complexity of the 24-month oak ageing, serve at 18°C. Decanting for 30–45 minutes is recommended to allow the bouquet of ripe forest fruits to fully open.
