Casalese L’Amor Cortese DOC
“L’amor Cortese” is the winery’s first white wine since 1998, and it is named for the love the winery has for this native variety. Known for its use in Gavi, Cortese grapes are delicate, intriguing and fresh, offering aromas of white flowers, fresh-cut grass, citrus and even petrol with a little age. The palate is refreshing and welcoming, but certainly not simple. An excellent aperitif and very good with fish, vegetables and mild cheese.
