Red wine | Roero, Piedmont, Italy
Indulge in the rich tapestry of Roero with the Matteo Correggia Roero Superiore Braja 2020. Crafted from 100% Nebbiolo grapes grown in the esteemed Roero region of Piedmont, Italy, this red wine offers a sensory journey that speaks of tradition and terroir.
Matteo Correggia, a visionary winemaker, transformed the Roero landscape with his innovative approach. Sadly passing away in 2005, the winery is still run by his wife Ornella and son Giovanni, to produce distinctive wines that reflect the unique character of the land. The Braja vineyard, known for its sandy soils and south-facing slopes, imparts distinctive qualities to the Nebbiolo grapes. The vineyards are maintained to the highest standards of sustainable agriculture and are all hand-harvested. This wine is not just a beverage; it's a piece of Roero's heart.
This wine showcases a beautiful ruby red color. The nose is complex, with aromas of wild cherries, ripe plum, dried roses, and a hint of earthy spice. On the palate, it's full-bodied with firm tannins and a long, lingering finish. The Braja 2020 is a testament to Nebbiolo's noble character, offering a symphony of flavors that evolve with each sip.
The wine pairs wonderfully with roasted game, braised meats, and aged cheeses. Its robust structure and complex flavors make it an ideal accompaniment to hearty dishes that highlight the culinary traditions of Piedmont. Imagine enjoying this wine alongside a plate of handmade tajarin pasta with a rich ragu or a slow-cooked osso buco.
For an optimal experience, decant the wine 30 minutes before serving at a temperature of 18°C to fully unleash its aromatic potential. Whether you're a seasoned wine connoisseur or an adventurous enthusiast, this wine will undoubtedly captivate your senses. Adding a bottle of Matteo Correggia Roero Superiore Braja 2020, you're not just acquiring a wine; you're investing in a story of passion, tradition, and the unparalleled beauty of Roero. Salute!
