Cortese
Filter
Cortese is an Italian wine grape variety used to create white wines. Earliest records of Cortese date to 1659 in Montaldeo and note that all vineyards were planted with the Cortese or Vermentino variety. Cortese was widely planted in the 1800s in Piedmont due to its ability to withstand disease and to produce high yields and good quality wine. Wines containing the Cortese variety are medium bodied wines with notes of lime and greengage. Some vines grown in cooler regions tend to produce very acidic flavors, but producers have found a way to mellow the tone of the wine with oak barrel fermentation. The taste of the Cortese white wine is said to be a signature Italian taste, with pleasing aromas and light flavor. The wines are typically higher priced due to the location of Piedmont, where the wines are produced. Growers, however, have planted Cortese in California, although the amount planted is quite small. Cortese is mostly linked with the Cortese di Gavi wine that is created in the area of Alessandria. The grape has a moderate level of acidity and a light flavor, and is paired well with seafood dishes. In restaurants in Genoa, the wine is paired with fresh seafood from the Lingurian coast. Cortese is also used to blend with the Bianco di Custoza.

Showcasing spectacular concentration and complexity, this wine offers remarkable depth and richness, with aromas of sun-drenched blackberry, briarberry, espresso, dark chocolate, cedar, and graphite.

Sitting just above the fog line, sheltered from the valley breezes, this distinct vineyard retains the heat from the early morning sun throughout the day and the additional warmth, paired with the vineyard’s shallow iron-rich soils, combine to create a distinctive flavor profile that is concentrated, complex and classically structured.
Falesco focused on the expression of a young red with explosive and succulent aromas. The wine has a magnificent, intense and deep ruby red color, important and solid in its organoleptic ensemble.
