With grapes produced in over 20 hectares of vineyards and managed personally, the Matteo Correggia Concern produces a wide range of wines. Starting at the foundations - the four grape varieties that are symbolic of his region - Matteo reached the absolute top in producing the Nebbiolo d'Alba and Barbera d'Alba wines, before bringing to life the Roero and Roero Arneis wines. Alongside these wines - that represent not only a geniun part of the local tradition but also a new expression of the essence of this region - are the challenges of the concer looking for new opportunities. It started growing traditional grape varieties - like the Brachetto of the Roero - or international red varieties and the Sauvignon Blanc. The wines are naturally the products of the ground where grapevines put down their roots: sandy ground that has little clay or silt and is very loose and therefore extremely suitable to produce rich and rifined bouquets.

However, it isn't just where the oak is from that will cause an impact.
It can also depend on:
Another major factor can depend on how the oak has been treated. For instance, barrels that have been steamed during manufacture may give oatmeal aromas, whereas barrels that have been toasted will have aromas of smoke and toast.
