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
Wow! Porcini mushrooms and manure on the nose. Tanic, needs some time to open up. Sourdough flavor the mouth. With homemade pesto pasta! — 5 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。 — 5 years ago
Pierre's favourite! Delicious, can taste the quality throughout, one of my fav reds so far. Pepper and rich. Naked Wines. — 6 years ago
Really lovely wine with fresh orchard and citrus fruits, some exotic spice, an element of creaminess with coconut and lavender. Amazing acidity that keeps if fresh and light, despite the bit of weight behind it. — 6 years ago
