Piedmontese DOC on the southeastern hills (Alessandria, Asti), cooler climate than lower Monferrato. Cortese is the exclusive signature white king (85–100%): dry and crisp with citrus, green apple, white flowers, fresh almond and a mineral touch, lively acidity and a characteristically slightly bitter finish. Pale straw robe with green glints. Accessible cousin of the neighbouring Gavi DOCG.
Perfect summer aperitif, ideal with delicate fish and risottos.
Lively, structured whites with firm acidity and a slender mouth, featuring aromas of citrus (lemon, grapefruit), green apple, white flowers, fresh almond and chalky mineral notes. Typically saline finish. The absolute star of Gavi DOCG (Cortese di Gavi), one of Italy's great whites, also made as sparkling wines and aged cuvées. Present in Colli Tortonesi DOC and Lombardy. Native Piedmontese grape from the southeast, with a long tradition of noble whites.
