The wine region of Cortese dell'Alto Monferrato
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.
The wine region of Piedmont
Kingdom of Nebbiolo: Barolo and Barbaresco DOCG, long-ageing reds with firm tannins and lively acidity, complex aromas of withered rose, sour cherry, tar, truffle and undergrowth. More accessible, tangy Barbera on red fruit, supple, crisp Dolcetto. Sweet, floral sparkling Moscato d'Asti, mineral, lemony Gavi (Cortese) white, round, almondy Arneis from Roero. 50,000 ha across the Langhe, Roero and Monferrato, UNESCO.
The word of the wine: Champagne rosé
Often obtained by adding red wines (from Champagne), it is even the only vineyard where this practice is allowed. Some producers prefer the practice used in other regions, i.e. a short maceration to extract sufficient colouring matter. This results in winey rosés for meals. Elegant aperitif rosé is more often made from red wine coloured Chardonnay. Rosés can be vintage or non vintage.
