A wee BloodyPulpit:
1. This was part of my last IlConsorzia shipment and I wanted something less mature than the Cote-Rotie, so cracked it open to share w/ Steve. Correggia is widely regarded as bringing fame to the Roero region and earning the respect of his neighboring B/B producers. Alas, died in a tractor accident in 2001.
