WINE DESCRIPTION

Matteo Correggia Barbera d'Alba is a premium red wine produced by Matteo Correggia, a highly regarded winery located in the Piedmont region of Italy. The wine is made from Barbera grapes grown in the estate's vineyards, which benefit from the area's unique terroir, characterized by calcareous soils and a continental climate. The wine is made using traditional winemaking techniques, including aging in oak barrels, which adds complexity and depth to the wine. The resulting wine is medium-bodied and fruit-driven, with notes of black cherry, plum, and a hint of spice, making it an ideal choice for pairing with pasta dishes, grilled meats, and aged cheeses.
