Tasting notes
From a hot and dry vintage, the Matteo Correggia 2017 Roero Riserva Ròche d'Ampsèj offers extra ripeness and dark fruit concentration. You get dried cherry and redcurrant, but the wine also shows integrated spice and earthiness. It's quite lovely, honestly, with soft layers of lush fruit and fresh acidity to conclude. This is a stand-out production of 6,498 bottles.

The 2017 Roero Riserva Roche d'Ampsèj is another terrific wine in this range from Correggia. It shows the breadth and richness of the year, but without the excess weight that penalized some past vintages. Orange peel, spice, mint, tobacco, rose petal and dried herbs lend notable character. My impression is that the 2017 will offer its finest drinking over the next decade or so, as there is already a bit of aromatic development.
