CORREGGIA NEBBIOLO LA VAL DEI PRETI 2022 - red

Style: Savoury & DetailedThe Correggia winery continues to set the pace for other wineries in the area, providing topics for discussion and food for thought. This is the way of things ever since the much-mourned Matteo showed just how much potential there was in an apparently marginal area. Today, Ornella and her exceptional staff is a champion of sustainable viticulture. Correggia's natural approach means working the land in the full awareness of the surrounding environment. It's another field in which Correggia is leading the way, sensibly and without ostentation. GAMBERO ROSSOComing from 75-year-old vines grown in sandy soils rich with fossils and seashells, the 2022 Roero Riserva La Val Dei Preti pours a bright ruby hue. Aromas of ripe raspberries, fresh herbs, and subtle earth emerge from the glass. Medium-bodied, it has broader shoulders than the classic Roero, with deeper tannins and added richness while remaining balanced and fresh. The wine was aged for roughly 18 months in wood. Drink 2026-2038. 9,000 bottles were produced. (93) AUDREY FRICKE, JebDunnuck.comThere is a lot to like in these new releases from Matteo Correggia. I have been drinking the Correggia wines since my student days, and have rarely been disappointed, especially at the entry-level, where so many of these wines also deliver fabulous value. ANTONIO GALLONIThe 2022 Roero Riserva La Val dei Preti is elegant and refined. Today, the 2022 feels a bit compact, perhaps because of the intensely warm, dry season and/or the need for more time in bottle. Ripe red fruit, cedar, blood orange and citrus notes are nicely pushed forward, but this needs time. ANTONIO GALLONI, VinousRegion: Piedmonte, ITALYVariety: NebbioloABV: 12.5%Liquor Act 2007.
