More About Matteo Correggia Roero Rosso

A classic Nebbiolo from Roero in Piedmont, this sits on the lighter, more immediately drinkable side of the Nebbiolo spectrum, a contrast to the more powerful, structured wines of Barolo and Barbaresco. It’s made entirely from Nebbiolo grown on the sandy soils of Roero, which naturally produce wines with softer tannins and more open aromatics.

In the glass it shows a pale ruby moving towards garnet, very typical of Nebbiolo, hinting at both delicacy and structure.

On the nose it’s lifted and expressive, with violet, rose petal and fresh red fruit, cherry, raspberry, sometimes a touch of strawberry, alongside subtle herbal and spice notes.

The palate is where Roero really distinguishes itself. You still get Nebbiolo’s defining structure, bright acidity and fine tannins, but here they’re noticeably softer and more approachable, making the wine enjoyable much earlier. The fruit sits in that classic red spectrum, supported by light spice, dried herbs and a faint earthy edge.

Meet the Producer, Matteo Correggia

Matteo Correggia

Style: Winery

Roero often lives slightly in Barolo’s shadow despite producing some of Piedmont’s most elegant and quietly brilliant wines. Matteo Correggia spent years helping change that perception before his untimely death in 2001, and the estate remains one of the region’s defining names.

Based in Canale in the Roero hills, the winery focuses heavily on Nebbiolo alongside Arneis and Barbera, farming sandy soils that produce more lifted, aromatic wines than neighbouring Barolo. The estate itself still feels deeply connected to Matteo’s original vision. Ambitious, quality-focused and proudly rooted in Roero rather than trying to imitate more famous regions.

The Nebbiolo wines tend to show rose petals, sour cherry, spice and soft earthy tannins with a slightly gentler structure than Barolo. There’s elegance and perfume here rather than brute force. The Roero Arneis deserves attention too, bringing pear, herbs and almond notes with lovely freshness underneath.

What makes Correggia particularly interesting is the combination of modern precision and regional authenticity. The wines feel polished, but never anonymous. You still get a proper sense of Roero’s sandy soils and cooler elegance.

Roero overall remains slightly underrated internationally, which honestly benefits drinkers enormously. Piedmont character without quite the same financial damage attached.
