The 2023 Roero is a terrific entry-level offering from Correggia. Sweet red cherry, cedar, sweet pipe tobacco, mint and dried herbs open first. It offers gorgeous mid-palate pliancy and fine balance, both especially of note given the challenges of the growing season. Quite simply, this is reference-point Nebbiolo from Roero. - By Antonio Galloni on October 2025

We opened one of these in the shop recently to try for ourselves and share with some customers. (Our Take) The wine is a charmer for sure, easy to drink, no hard tannic or acid edges, soft, delicate red cherry and berry fruit, a touch of tar and roses, and some crushed stone minerality beneath it all. You can chill this or serve it at regular temperature in situations that are as varied from charcuterie, cheeses, and pizza on up to more substantial pork or roast chicken. Think lighter nebbiolo to pinot noir like situations and this fits perfectly there.

Matteo Correggia was one of the leaders of the young generation that brought so much attention to Piedmont in the late 1980s. Sadly, a tractor accident in 2001 cut his life tragically short, leaving behind a wife and two young children. I visited the estate a few times in the years that followed. Correggia’s widow, Ornella, did a tremendous job in keeping the estate running while also advancing approaches to sustainable viticulture and raising her children. Giovanni Correggia was just a young boy at the time. Today, he is a young man who has confidently taken charge of his family’s domaine. The wines continue to improve, always heading in a direction of greater focus and energy. This is an estate to watch, as the best is yet to come.
