Matteo Correggia 2008 Roero Arneis

Golden straw color, some petillance visible.

Peach and apple smells, almonds, lime.

Dry apple and pear flavors, crisp acidity, petillant on the tongue.

This is my introduction to Arneis, a grape brought back from near-extinction in the last 4 decades.

An excellent bottle for $13.95, wants to be served a little bit warmer then the average white wine.

Matteo Correggia 2007 Barbera d'Alba

Opaque dark purple color.

Smells of plum and black cherry.

Full flavor of plum, blackberry, and blueberry. No oak, all fruit.

Extremely good bottle for $19.99. Full bodied wine that's a fine match for any full-flavored food.

Matteo Correggia 2004 Nebbiolo d'Alba La Val dei Preti

Medium-dark ruby color, orange at the edges.

Plum and fresh-turned earth smells.

Plum, red cherry flavors, licorice and strong tea and well-balanced oak in the finish.

Good bottle for $27.99, a fine example of a lighter-style Nebbiolo.
