The 2021 Le Marne Grigie Langhe Rosso from Matteo Correggia is a captivating expression of Nebbiolo from the Langhe region in Piedmont, Italy. This wine offers a delightful combination of youthful vibrancy and classic Nebbiolo character. Le Marne Grigie (grey marls) gives this wine its name. The soil is rich in marine sediments which provides structure, aromatic complexity and ageing potential. It is a fruit-forward wine which is intended to be a young and enjoyable expression of Nebbiolo.
On the nose, you'll find alluring aromas of fresh red cherries, raspberries, and a hint of wild herbs, underpinned by earthy undertones. The palate is medium-bodied with a velvety texture, showcasing bright acidity and well-integrated tannins. Flavors of red fruit dominate, complemented by subtle spice notes and a lingering finish. The wine is dry, making it a versatile companion for a wide range of dishes.
This Langhe Rosso pairs beautifully with Italian cuisine. Consider serving it with roasted vegetables, mushroom risotto, pasta with tomato-based sauces, or grilled meats. It also complements hard cheeses and charcuterie. The wine’s acidity and tannins will cut through rich dishes, while its fruit-forward profile will enhance lighter fare.
Serve at around 16°C (61°F) and allow it to breathe for at least 15 minutes before enjoying. This will allow the wine to fully express its aromas and flavors. This wine can be enjoyed now or cellared for a few more years to allow further development. It’s a beautiful representation of Langhe Rosso, crafted with passion and respect for the land by Matteo Correggia.
