Cortese is known as the grape of "Gavi," a Piedmontese wine region that is actually closer to Genoa than Torino. This youthful expression comes from grapes within and outside of the Gavi region, hence the greater "Piemonte" (not Gavi) labelling. Raised in steel, this 2018 is a textbook, friendly Cortese with big notes of citrus and lemon blossom, tucked-in with elements of green like thyme, fresh meadow, and tart plum. At 12%, this serves as a light and easy "cocktail" and pairs nicely with anything lemony, garlicky, and green.
