Correggia was among the first producers to bottle single-vineyard Nebbiolo from the Roero's sandy hills, earning a place alongside the Barolo Boys and bringing international attention to a region previously known only for bulk production. After his sudden death in a tractor accident in 2001, his widow Ornella took over the estate, deepening the commitment to organic and low-intervention practices. Their son Giovanni now serves as winemaker and export manager, carrying the estate into its next chapter. Anthos — Greek for \"flower\" — was Matteo's personal everyday wine and one of the first dry Brachetto bottlings in the region.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Giovanni Correggia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFarming:\u003c\/strong\u003e Organic; hand harvested; Guyot training; cover cropping with grass in alternate rows; pruning residues returned to soil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brachetto 100%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTerroir:\u003c\/strong\u003e Piemonte DOC; estate vineyards in Canale, Roero, on fine sandy soils of ancient marine origin; east\/south-facing exposure; 250–280 m elevation. The Roero sits on the left bank of the Tanaro River opposite the Langhe, distinguished by its lighter, sandier soils which give wines of aromatic lift and freshness rather than the weight and tannin typical of the clay-rich Langhe.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVinification:\u003c\/strong\u003e Skin maceration in stainless steel for 6–8 days; fermentation in stainless steel; no additives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAging:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4+ months in stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vivid ruby with floral aromas of fresh rose petal and violet. Ripe berry fruit — raspberry and cherry — mingles with quinine, gentian, and herbal bitterness reminiscent of Barolo Chinato and northern Italian amari. The palate is juicy and bright with lively acidity, no perceptible tannin, and a clean, slightly bitter finish. Dry in style despite the aromatic sweetness on the nose.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFood Pairings:\u003c\/strong\u003e Local salumi and charcuterie, mortadella, aged Piemontese cheeses, braised veal, antipasti; versatile as a table wine served slightly chilled\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Matteo Correggia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43832151081026,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0596\/1023\/4946\/files\/anthos.png?v=1781038358","url":"https:\/\/decantnapa.com\/products\/matteo-correggia-anthos-dry-brachetto-piemonte-italy-2024","provider":"DECANT Napa Bottle Shop \u0026 Bar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
