-Importer notes (V59)
The one blended Corsini wine. This, effectively, is the farm’s secondlabel, created to enable it to keep a high standard with its other wines (everything is estatebottled at Ruggeri Corsini; nothing is sold in bulk to traders, a fact that makes quality controlfor a wine like Matot particularly important). Matot is, as Nicola says, a glass of Piedmontesered. Based on Dolcetto, with varying percentages of Nebbiolo, Barbera, Albarossa and PinotNero.
A Piedmontese classic, Barbera is the mainstay of the farm, representing 40- 45% of production. Made and aged in steel tanks. Quite dark, full, earthy and meaty, and carried by delicious acidity, the grape’s signature. 1,200-1,600 cases annually.
