Matteo Correggia is the most representative winery within this appellation, doing nothing less than defining recent history of the zone. The finest wines produced are the Langhe Rosso Le Marne Griglie and Roero Ròche d’Ampsèj. The latter is an extraordinarily elegant nebbiolo with a remarkable amount of character. Its aromatic strength urges you to seek references hidden behind the sharp complexity. Ripe grape, wood, sweetness and tannins – all expressed with absolute subtlety – enchant the palate.

Made entirely with nebbiolo grapes. Aged in new French oak barrels for 16 months. Bottled in July 2003. 12,000 bottles.

José María Fonseca has managed to create one of the most substantial wines of Spain using grapes off his own vines, fundamentally of the albariño variety that are then enriched by the addition of loureiro and caiño blanco varieties.

This is the finest Terras Gauda in years. It has gained in strength, complexity and brazenness, which combine to offer a much richer wine on the palate. The acidity manifests itself in a self-evident, adjusted way, and the subtle bitterness and honeyed texture, a product of the very ripe fruit, contribute to the harmony. In brief, an elegant, balanced, nuanced wine that evolves in the mouth, boasting of its fruitiness at every turn.

Deep, complex aromas with rich nuances of smoke and spice over a base of ripe dark fruits like blackberries and plum preserves. It is wide in the mouth, with a long finish, and the fruit and wood are very well resolved, with the former prevailing but leaving room to notice the latter. Sweet, caramelized, with hints of turron: almond and honey combined with the basic elements of acidity, bitterness and a certain tannic quality. It has body and meatiness to it, yet the result is fluid.

Made exclusively from local tinta grapes. Aged in French and American barrels for a period of 18 months. Bottled at the beginning of summer 2003.

Truly sumptuous and substantial, with very strong character for a merlot, it boasts aromatic power: exuberant, ripe dark berries, licorice, spice bread and a light infusion of oak. Elegance and harmony share the palate with notable structure – very well put together. It evolves in the mouth with complexity, demonstrating a subtle bitterness, acidity, and compliant tannic quality. It develops in an eloquent, noble way that satiates the palate with utter refinement.
