2020 Correggia Roero Nebbiolo

From the rolling hills of Roero in Piedmont, the Matteo Correggia Roero Nebbiolo offers a more delicate and approachable expression of Nebbiolo, compared to its more robust counterparts from Barolo or Barbaresco. The sandy soils of Roero contribute to the wine’s elegance and aromatics while still preserving the structure and complexity Nebbiolo is known for. Matteo Correggia is one of the leading producers in the region, crafting wines that highlight the purity of the grape and the unique terroir of Roero. On the nose, the Roero Nebbiolo opens with classic Nebbiolo aromas of rose petals, red cherry, and wild strawberry, with secondary notes of spice, anise, and a hint of tobacco. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied with fine tannins and vibrant acidity. Flavors of cranberry, pomegranate, and plum are complemented by earthy undertones of forest floor and dried herbs. The finish is long and refined, with a subtle minerality and a touch of balsamic.
