Matteo Correggia Barbera d'Alba 2013
Alba, Cuneo, Piedmont, ItalyThe 20 HA estate in Roero has been in the Correggia family since 1935, is farmed organically and managed sustainably. South facing, steep hillside vineyards on sandy, mineral rich soils is prized ground for the humble barbera grape, and it is allows the grape to shine here. One year in barrique before another 1.5 years in the bottle, this medium bodied wine is ready to drink now, though will easily hold for another few years in the cellar. Salted black liquorice, black cherry, espresso and dark earth are hemmed in by firm, very fine tannins. Acidity is bright and lifted, ending with a subtle and alluring floral tilt and ample dried salted herbs. Ideal with rabbit pappardelle or sausage and rocket pizza.Tasted: 08 November 2016Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $25.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
