2024 La Colombera Cortese Bricco Bartolomeo

This wine is made from 100% Cortese grapes grown on light clayey soils. The wine displays a pale to straw-yellow color with a silver hue. It shows versatility in pairing with appetizers, seafood dishes, and white meat, and demonstrates interesting bottle evolution during the first three years after harvest. The wine exhibits a fresh, easy-going character with mineral notes of crushed rock and a hint of salinity on the finish.
