A wee BloodyPulpit:

  1. Correggia: One of my very favorite producers in the Roero. This Nebb is much more intense than most from the B/B area. The Ampsej is his flagship Nebb made from 50 yr old vines.

Well, Mikael… across the board I’ve pretty much liked their wines. Sometimes a bit pricey, but not outrageously so.
