Barbera d'Alba DOC 2023 - Matteo Correggia

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. Roero wines impress with their fruitiness and elegance rather than with their power and power. Correggia was one of the winemakers who helped the entire area achieve today's fame. His wines always have varietal characteristics, straight fruit and great elegance. In 2000, the new cellar was inaugurated and Matteo was considered one of Italy's most skilled winemakers. In June 2001, Matteo died in a tragic accident at work. 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 responsibilities of housewife, mother and entrepreneur in an exemplary manner and continued Matteo's work undeterred. Despite all the prophecies of doom, she was able to maintain the quality level and the wines still shine!
