Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2009 Brachetto Anthos is an attractive, if eccentric, wine. Sweet medicinal herbs, dried flowers and dried cherries are just some of the nuances that waft from the glass as this ethereal, haunting red reveals its class and elegance. Clean, mineral notes frame the exquisite, delicate finish. This is a fabulous effort from Correggia. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2014.

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.
