Apapà Matteo Correggia 2015

The Nebbiolo “APAPA" of the Matteo Correggia winery was born from the project of the sons Giovanni and Brigitta to dedicate a wine to their father Matteo.
This wine is produced with Nebbiolo grapes, from a selection of old vines of the vineyard “La Val dei Preti”. Ceramic amphorae are used for fermenting and refining. With a beautiful ruby red color, the nose shows an elegant floral and fruity bouquet, with hints of violet, red currant in addition to intense aromas of jam, vanilla and tobacco. The taste is pleasantly dry, warm and soft, elegant, fresh and characterized by velvety tannins. Its elegance and finesse make it an ideal wine to pair with the main meat courses of the Piedmontese tradition and aged cheeses.

The cave of Matteo Correggia produces a huge choice of wines with its grapes that derive from 20 hectares of vineyards. The wines are sons of soils, where the vineyards have their roots: sandy soils, poor of clay and of silt, but rich in mineral sails and so appropriate for the production of elegant wines and also rich and refined bouquets. Matteo Correggia inherited the cave of his family in 1985 and he decided to carry on an ambitious project: that is make and produce wines of quality in an underrated territory. Today the cave is managed by Ornella Costa, wife of Matteo, who is dead very soon.
