From: Roero, Piedmont, Italy
Varietal: Brachetto
Tasting Notes: Anthos is the estate’s dry, still Brachetto, a great value with a nose of rose petals and licorice. Plentiful herbal notes, good acidity, and light-bodied.
"The mischievous Brachetto. I remember that as a child I climbed on the chairs of the tasting room, without being seen by my parents in order to reach those big glasses stained of red. They emanated a completely new and charming scent for my little nose. I could smell a delicate rose perfume and I was entranced by its sweetness: it was my first encounter with a glass of Anthos. This is an illusionist wine, floral and sweet to the nose but countered by a dry taste in line with its freshness. This wine shows the illusions of preconceptions, and it fulfils all expectations and surprises at every sip. Its intriguing and fun taste combines perfectly with the spices of Asian cuisine, with fresh fish recipes or with an aperitif on a warm summer evening." -Brigitta Correggia
“The Correggia winery continues to set the pace for other wineries in the area, providing topics for discussion and food for thought. This is the way of things ever since the much-mourned Matteo showed just how much potential there was in an apparently marginal area. Today, Ornella and her exceptional staff is a champion of sustainable viticulture. Correggia’s natural approach means working the land in the full awareness of the surrounding environment. It’s another field in which Correggia is leading the way, sensibly and without ostentation.” – Gambero Rosso
“The late Matteo Correggia was and remains the spiritual leader of the region.” – Antonio Galloni
