Cortese

Cortese is a white grape variety primarily grown in the Piedmont region of northwest Italy. It is most famous for being the main grape used to produce Gavi, a popular Italian white wine known for its light, crisp, and refreshing characteristics.
Cortese wines often have aromas of citrus fruits, green apple, and white flowers. On the palate, they tend to display a balanced acidity, minerality, and sometimes a slight almond note. Gavi wines are known for their versatility, making them suitable as an aperitif or pairing well with a variety of dishes, including seafood, salads, and light pasta dishes
