About the wine

When Matteo Correggia took over his father's winery in 1987, the Roero was still unknown - in contrast to the neighboring areas of Barbaresco and Barolo. The wines of the Roero captivate with their fruitiness and elegance rather than their impact and power. Correggia was one of the winemakers who helped the entire area to its present fame. His wines always show varietal specificity, straightforward fruit and great elegance. In 2000, the new cellar was inaugurated and Matteo was considered one of the most capable winemakers in Italy. In June 2001, Matteo died in a tragic work accident. He left behind two small children and his wife Ornella, who in spite of everything decided to continue running the Azienda. This young, strong woman mastered the multiple burdens of housewife, mother and entrepreneur in an exemplary manner and she continued Matteo's work unwaveringly. Despite all the prophecies of doom, she was able to maintain the quality level and the wines still shine!
