Varietal: Cortese
For at least five hundred years, the area around south Piedmont in northern Italy has been home to the Cortese grape varietal, a particularly fine and delicate grape famed for its lightness and crispness, and the fact that the white wine made from them is considered a perfect match for cuisine of the region. Cortese grapes are usually associated with crisp, fresh and slightly tart flavors of lime and greengage, and other green fruits. This flavor is carried by a medium bodied wine, with moderate acidity, which ends up being a highly delicate wine appreciated by people all over the world who are looking for something elegant and unique. Cortese grapes are quite sensitive to climatic conditions, and their wines are sometimes more acidic in cooler years.
Region: Piedmont
n Italy, the region most closely associated with excellent quality red wines and characterful sparkling wines is Piedmont. This alpine region is located in the north-west of the country, and features beautiful foothills of the impressive mountain range which forms the nearby border between Italy, France and Switzerland. Wineries in Piedmont work with the Nebbiolo, Dolcetto and Barbera grapes which thrive in the warm, dry summers and cooler autumns, as well as the beautifully expressive Moscato grapes which are used for the sparkling Asti wines the region is famed for. For generations, these wineries have perfected the art of aging their red wines, and blending grape varietals to get the most out of each one, leading to a region known all over the world for the exceptional quality of its produce.
Country: Italy
It isn't difficult to understand why Italy is famed not just for the quality of its wines, but also for the vast variety and range of characteristics found in the wines there. The terrain of the country varies wildly, from the lush rolling green hills and valley of Tuscany, to the sun drenched rocky coasts of Sicily, the mountainous and alpine regions of the north, and the marshy lowlands of the east. Italy really does have a little bit of everything. Combine this huge range of landscapes with an almost perfect climate for grape cultivation, and you have a country seemingly designed for viticultural excellence. The results speak for themselves, and it is clear to see that wine has become an inseparable part of Italian culture as a result of its abundance and brilliance. Each village, city and region has a local wine perfectly matched with the cuisine of the area, and not an evening passes without the vast majority of Italian families raising a glass of locally sourced wine with pride and pleasure.
