Cortese

Cortese is a white grape that has been grown in Piedmont since the eighteenth century. It is mostly grown in the south eastern sections of Piemonte where it is hot enough to allow the early ripening character of this grape to develop. Cortese does have a relatively high affinity to rot so growers will pick them even earlier in the season than other early-ripening grapes. Cortese is best known for its DOC wine, Gavi or Cortese di Gavi. Cortese is also grown in Cortese dei Colli Tortonesi DOC and Cortese dell'Alto Monferrato DOC. Gavi typifies what Italians consider Bianco - low in aroma, high in acid and neutral in character.
