In the northwest of Italy lies the unique low alpine region of Piedmont (or Piemonte), which means `at the foot of the mountains`. Weather influences come from the Apennine Mountains and the Alps The region includes the small and prestigious hillside wine towns of Barolo, Barbaresco, Asti and Gavi, where a diverse variety of well-known wine styles originate. Some of Italy`s most revered and expensive red wines come from the Nebbiolo grape, grown alongside Barbera, Dolcetto and for white wines Moscato and Cortese.

Tasting Notes
These Cortese vines are planted on a mix of alluvial soils and clay soils. There is a soft pressing followed by fermentations in steel tanks for purity of fruit and delicate aromas. There is a lively fruit profile and floral aromas. The palate is crisp with a fantastic balance of acidity, which combines with flavours of green apple, pear and a mineral character for a delicious finish.
Food
Ideal for pairing with salad, seafood or vegetable risottos and pasta dishes.
