Cren Dell’Ape Cortese Blanc 2023
Piemonte, Italy 🇮🇹
Overview
A crisp, approachable white made from 100% Cortese, an indigenous Piedmontese grape best known for Gavi wines. Cren Dell’Ape highlights Cortese’s refreshing, fruit-driven personality while keeping a casual and fun-drinking style.
Aromas & Flavors
Fresh aromas of white flowers, yellow peach, and stone fruits lead into a lively palate. Flavors of tropical fruit, peach, and citrus zest carry through with balance, offering a vibrant and fruity medley that feels like a “cornucopia of yellow fruit.”
Mouthfeel
Light-bodied and refreshing, with bright acidity that makes it crisp but not sharp. Clean and smooth finish that invites another sip.
Winemaking Notes
Fermented in stainless steel to emphasize fruit purity and freshness. Made to be enjoyed young for maximum vibrancy.
Food Pairing
Perfect alongside seafood, pasta with vegetables, light cheeses, or as an aperitif. A versatile, crowd-pleasing white that works in almost any casual setting.
Verdict
A fun, fruity, and highly drinkable Cortese. Hard to stop at just one glass—this wine is pure Piedmontese charm in a bottle.
