Meat juice, soy sauce, black tea, blackberry juice, ripe cherries, leather, oak, wet forest soil... a lot happens on the nose here ! The palate is a model of balance. Good acid drive, nice savoury, and meaty notes along with cherry and blackberry touches all along. The mid-palate is expanding into some kind of a ball, with only oak tannins, that powers up a long and broad finish with the same savoury, meaty notes, the same red and black fruit juice touches, a tiny salt thing in the very end and and overall sense of a wine that is complete. It's not a trendy wine. It's not gimmicky. It's the essence of a very well-made old world wine, but man, does it deliver. — 10 months ago

Popped and poured. While unusual, somewhat on-brand for Matteo Correggia, the 2010 “Le Marne Grigie” is a micro-production Bordeaux-blend (with a splash of Syrah) from Roero. The wine pours a deep ruby color with a near opaque core; medium+ viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. No obvious signs of sediment. On the nose, the wine is vinous but still showing abundant ripe fruit: currants, plums, tobacco, bell pepper, some purple flowers, organic earth and baking spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+(?) acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. Surprisingly youthful! Though this is certainly a bit left field, it retains it’s old world sensibilities. A fun wine to try if you can ever find it. Drink now and through 2030. — 3 years ago

First Sauvignon Blanc from Piedmont! Very bright. Sees a little bit of barrel time which gives it some nice body. — 7 years ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The 2021 pours a pale golden color with medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe and tart orchard fruit: peach, honeysuckle, Marcona almonds, and minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+ with a waxy texture. Pretty tasty stuff from Correggia. Drink now through 2031. — a year ago

バラ、キャンディ、イチゴ的な香り。
心地よいタンニンにちょい揮発。
軽やかながら旨味と心地よい酸と旨味があって、くせになる味わい。
イチゴとのペアリングは文句なしだが、軽めの料理なら何でも合いそう。
グラスは白用でもブルゴーニュでもOK。 — 6 years ago

9.2

A great find in a tiny local shop in Rome
A producer that i know for a long time
Absolutely not a classic character
Matteo is a true vigneron and loves what he does like few others.
The Follia Bianco was always my favourite label and did not disappointed
Rich and mineral
It really feel like an important Sancerre for the mineral, but for its weight and richness it could be a Burgundy.
Vineyard is in Velletri over the hills of Rome influenced by the a sea breeze coming from west.
Very long and surely at peak
I'd imagine some bottles might be past the peak too, but this one was holding superbly.
I am very curious to try the other labels Stefano had from Piana dei Castelli. It made my day — 6 days ago

Perhaps the location adds something special. But the wine is full bodied, loaded with cherries and black berries combined with crudo and costato di manzo, served by what feels like one family and it tastes simply delicious! — 2 years ago
