This Nebbiolo d’Alba wine presents the typical peculiarities of Roero area; its colour is a brilliant ruby red one, with yellow-crowned nuances during the aging. Its smell owns an elegant, floral and fruited bouquet, with scents of violet, red currant, followed by jam’, vanilla’ and tobacco’s aroma.

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.
