Matteo Correggia Roero Arneis

Matteo Correggia
Written By Ellen Grantz

In the Piemontese dialect, Arneis means ‘little rascal’ — it is notoriously finicky to grow. Correggia adeptly manages this by making several passes during harvest, to pick the fruit at perfect ripeness. He then blends the lots together to make a wine with ripe melon and stone fruit along with tart green apple and citrus. All of these flavors dance over a firm mineral core.
