Cortese, a white grape variety, is famously associated with the crisp, lime-scented wines of Gavi, where it’s been grown for hundreds of years. It’s known for its bracing acidity and ability to retain freshness even in warm environments. Apple, peach and honeydew flavors are commonly associated with Cortese wine, with lime, almond and light herbal or grassy aromas. It’s considered Piemonte’s finest white variety and is often credited as introducing the world to Italian white wine.
