Matteo Correggia Roero (Nebbiolo), “La Val dei Preti”

Matteo Correggia
Written By Ellen Grantz

Roero’s first single cru, Matteo Correggia La Val dei Preti debuted in the late 1980s and inspired a new generation of winemakers from the region. The wine continues to be a benchmark for the appellation, with hallmark aromatics, silky tannins and approachability that make it unmistakably Roero.

“Expressive, pliant and nuanced.” - Antonio Galloni

“Good acidity, elegance, and length.” - Decanter
