Winemaker Notes
The grapes used to produce this Brachetto come from vines planted in 1975 in a calcarous, sandy soil that faces to the west. They are only briefly macerated on the skins, lending the wine a pale, ruby red hue.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The Non-vintage Anthos is a quirky, ethereal wine that floats on the palate with sweet scents of dried cherries, medicinal herbs, anise and spices. This beautifully balanced red is simply delicious and impossible to resist. Anthos is one of the few Brachettos vinified as a dry red wine as opposed to the more prevalent sparkling style. Under the Vino da Tavola designation Correggia can’t formally indicate the vintage, but the lot number, in this case L2008, specifies the vintage.
Attracting the most glory, prestige and fame to the Piedmont region, Nebbiolo in all of its expressions—Barolo, Barbaresco, Roero, Ghemme and Gattinara—creates a complex wine, truly unique for its delicate qualities combined with strength and a great potential to improve over time.
But Nebbiolo isn’t all there is to red wine from Piedmont! Barbera is the most planted variety and historically most popular as a dependable, food-friendly, everyday wine.
Beyond these two, a surprising number of red varieties call Piedmont their home. Worth a try include Dolcetto for its bold concentration and aromas of spice cake. Other grapes to investigate include Freisa, Croatina, Brachetto, Grignolino and Pelaverga.
