Matteo Correggia

Matteo Corregiga learned everything about the vine from his father and, having never gone to any kind of oenology college, was taught his winemaking skills by Elio Altare and other local friends. Matteo started bottling his own wine with great success when his father died in 1985 making them the very best Piedmont has to offer. The indigenous white Arneis and black Brachetto vines are carefully nurtured to produce beautifully individual wines. The Roeros are made from Nebbiolo but are evidently more refi ned than Barolo due to the lighter soils in the region – they are exquisitely pure and truly outstanding. 2000 was Matteo’s last vintage after his tragic vineyard accident. His wife Ornella and her children, with the help of talented young wine maker Luca Rostagno, now run the estate.
