Country: Italy Region: Piemonte Varietal: Cortese Vintage: 2014 Colour: White Style: Dry Producer: Ricossa Description:Lorenzo Ricossa, who at the end of the 1800s, founded the award-winning Portacomarese winery in an old building on the outskirts of Asti. The awards were not long in coming: the victory of several gold medals at the Exhibition of Asti (1908), Florence (1909) and Turin (1911) sealed the character of the great Piedmontese wines produced by the winery, but also stressed its commitment to the values of land, history, professionalism and resourcefulness. Today, over a century later, the Ricossa story continues with MGM Mondo del Vino, opening itself to the world with a living and dynamic reality, all the while keeping the old values which got them here. Ageing Potential: Drink Fresh Tasting Note:A youthful and elegant wine. This young and fruity white has a pale yellow colour. Aromas of crisp green apple and acacia flowers. A dry, medium bodied fresh white with delicate hints of lemon and a good splash of minerality. Food Matches: Mussels / Shellfish / Hors d'oeuvres
