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.

The estate defines the agricultural management as "natural and sustainable whenever possible". Only manure is used as fertilizer. Spontaneous cover crops (grass cover) are left between the rows of vines, the grass is mowed and the soil is tilled so to work the plant substance (green manure) into the ground. No chemical weed-control products are used. There is a very limited use of SO2 in the wine.
