Cortese

Cortese is a white grape variety native to the Piemonte (Piedmont) region of northwestern Italy, particularly associated with the Gavi DOCG. It produces light to medium-bodied white wines characterized by high acidity, crisp citrus notes, green apple, and mineral qualities, often with subtle floral aromatics. Cortese thrives in cooler climates and is typically vinified as a fresh, dry white wine intended for early consumption, though some premium examples can age gracefully.
