At their best, wines made from the native grape variety Cortese (90%) boast a serious yet pleasing weight, pronounced minerality, and beautiful acidity. In fact, the Cortese-based wines of nearby Gavi are among the most treasured whites of Northern Italy. We have discovered that adding a touch of Chardonnay (8%) and Sauvignon Blanc (2%) further sharpens and thereby elevates this wine. Also, this bottling comes in a 1 liter format! Just a little more to love!

Fun fact: Cortese was first documented in 1614, when the Castle of Casale Monferrato documented the grape in its ledger.
