Coppacchioli Tattini: Mountain Wines from the Heart of Sibillini National Park, Marche
In Cupi di Visso, a tiny village of just fifteen inhabitants, nestled within the Sibillini National Park in the Marche region, Coppacchioli Tattini is redefining what it means to make wine in one of Italy’s most remote and elevated terroirs.
Founded in 2016, this boutique winery produces just 7,000 - 12,000 bottles a year from 4.8 hectares of organically farmed vineyards, placed 1,000 meters above sea level. Here, the mountain air, wild herbs, and dramatic seasonal shifts shape wines of vibrant acidity, minerality, and unmistakable personality.
A Journey Through Time: Honoring Family and Land
The estate’s story begins with a promise, to honor the memory of Ginevra Coppacchioli’s late brother, Lucio, whose dream was to create something lasting in their family’s ancestral land. At just 18, Ginevra, then studying International Relations, stepped into the role of vintner with determination and purpose. Guided by her father, Angelo, and an experienced enologist, she learned the craft bottle by bottle, vine by vine.
The vineyards, some of the highest in Italy, lie within a landscape shaped by shepherds, legends, and the rhythms of nature. Ginevra’s work embraces both tradition and curiosity: she follows the lunar cycle in her winemaking, noting how the moon’s phases subtly influence the character of her sparkling wines, fuller bubbles under a full moon, finer and more delicate under a waning one.
The Winemaker: Ginevra Coppacchioli
Now 29, Ginevra leads Coppacchioli Tattini with a rare blend of youthful energy and deep-rooted respect for her terroir. Her portfolio spans sparkling, still, and rare varietal wines, including Chardonnay, Pinot Nero, and the ancient Vissanello grape. Each cuvée is made in tiny quantities, with certain labels, like Alcinisco, produced only in the best vintages.
One of her most captivating wines is Pecora nel Gregge (“Sheep in the Flock”), a sparkling wine whose name nods to the pastoral heritage of Cupi.
Another is Primo di Cupi, a still wine that evolves dramatically with age: bright and floral in 2022, high-toned and racy in 2021, and layered with complexity in the 2019 release. “What is most interesting,” Ginevra says, “is the evolution of a wine that tells a different story now, and an even deeper one five years from now.”
Even the labels tell tales, Alcinisco, for example, recalls the legend of a fairy with sheep’s hooves and horns who danced with shepherds at night, her stomping feet shaking the earth if the dancing lasted too long.
Marco’s personal notes
Visiting Ginevra in Cupi was like stepping into another world. The scale is intimate, the air sharp with mountain freshness, and the silence broken only by the wind and the occasional bleat of sheep. Her wines carry this place in every sip, lean and pure, yet with a depth that reveals itself slowly, like the unfolding of a mountain path.
We spoke at length about her journey, the leap from student to winemaker, the resilience needed to farm here through earthquakes and harsh winters, and the quiet pride she feels in producing wines that are as rare as they are expressive.
At Porcalorca, we cherish producers whose wines are inseparable from their place and story. Coppacchioli Tattini is just that: mountain-born, family-rooted, and crafted with a sense of purpose that you can taste in every bottle.
