The wines of Roero have always lived in the shadow of Barolo, but the Correggia winery is a
beacon of light. It is acknowledged as not only the best producer in the area, but also as one of the very best northern Italian wineries. Wines like the single-vineyard, Val dei Preti and Rocche d'Ampsej (Nebbiolo) are now as sought after as some of the more highly prized Barolo and Barbaresco, and his entry level nebbiolo (Roero) and Arneis are seriously lovely and inexpensive introductions to their respective varieties. Known by his peers as “The Comet of Roero”, the late Matteo Correggia is regarded as the benchmark wine producer for the Roero region which lies just north of Barolo.
