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.
Supple, fruity reds best drunk young, with a sustained ruby robe and violet hues, melted tannins and an airy palate with low acidity, showing signature aromas of blackberry, plum, black cherry, almond and floral notes. Star of Dogliani DOCG and Dolcetto d'Alba DOC in Piedmont, perfect with cured meats and Piedmontese pasta. Emblematic native Piedmontese black grape whose name evokes the sweetness of ripe fruit.
