Cortese Wines

Cortese wine is a white wine that is primarily produced in the Piedmont region of Italy. It is made from the Cortese grape variety, which has been cultivated in this region for centuries. The origin of Cortese wine can be traced back to the town of Gavi, where it has been made since the 17th century.

Cortese is known for its crisp and refreshing taste profile, with flavors of green apple, citrus, and mineral notes, and is often described as having a good balance between acidity and fruitiness. Cortese wine is best enjoyed when it is young, as it tends to lose some of its freshness and vibrancy with age.

While Italy is the main producer of Cortese wine, and also the home of the best examples of this wine, it is also grown in small quantities in Argentina and Australia.
