Colli Tortonesi Cortese Frizzante DOC is a semi-sparkling (Frizzante) white wine made from the elegant Piedmont Cortese grape (95-100%), with the permitted addition of 5% local non-aromatic white grapes. Grape composition is the same as the one of the quiet Cortese white wine.
The result is a more or less intense straw-colored white wine. The scent is delicate and characteristic. The taste is dry, distinctive, soft, vivacious and inviting.
Colli Tortonesi Cortese Frizzante DOC is a perfect accompaniment of fish, but it can also be enjoyed as an aperitif.

Did you know?
Italy extends over 10 latitudes – from continental climate to subtropical climate?
So let’s just get one thing straight: at Lombardia (or Lombardy), Italy’s most populated and industrialized region, doesn’t exactly prioritize wine production. Actually, the combined output isn’t that significant, and what is produced is normally consumed locally, especially the wines from Oltrepò Pavese.
