Matteo Correggia Roero Roche d’Ampsej Riserva 2020

Organic Riserva red from Roero, Piedmont, 14.5% ABV, produced by Matteo Correggia. 100% Nebbiolo, 2020 vintage, 0.75L bottle. A wine that embodies the excellence of Roero, with an elegance reminiscent of Barbaresco. The bouquet, less austere this year, is more reminiscent of Barbaresco, with its refined blend of violets and roses in potpourri, sour cherries, raspberries, pepper, fine spices, cinchona, rhubarb, mentholated tobacco, and licorice. Ruby red, shimmering to garnet. On the palate, it lacks vigor, yet remains calm, taut, and rigorous until the finish of medicinal herbs and undergrowth.
