Correggia Nebbiolo La Val dei Preti 2015
DOZEN: $745.20 or $62.10 each
Correggia's 2015 Roero La Val dei Preti is powerful and yet also remarkably translucent. Sweet red cherry, kirsch, crushed flower and raspberry are all beautifully lifted in this precise, mid-weight Roero. A kick of white pepper adds an attractive aromatic top note. The 2015 is pure class. Drink it over the next handful of years. ANTONIO GALLONI
The highlight of our tasting was a look at the two new release 'Val dei Pretti' wines. Val dei Preti is the original single-vineyard of the estate planted 45 years ago. With a range of southerly exposures, the final product is extremely selective representing the strength of the vintage as judged by Giovanni.
The 2015 Nebbiolo comes off south facing vineyards between 260-290m above sea level. The wine spends 18 months in oak, 30% of which is new. The oak regime is 50% barrique and 50% large format Slavonian The result is a vibrant, aromatic wine with a very long, fine grained tannin. Intense without being too forward, this Nebbiolo displays and uncanny sense of place.
