The 2006 Nebbiolo d’Alba La Val dei Preti is a wonderfully complex wine that dances on the palate with sweet tobacco, spices, cherries, plums, new leather and licorice. This should drink quite nicely right out of the gate as it is already very complete in its expressiveness and pedigree. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2018. These new releases from Correggia are impressive for their consistency, drinkability and varietal trueness. Even better, a number of the wines are terrific values as well.
