Description

A stormy July 2014 brought rot to the vineyards of Gavi, but Roberto’s meticulousness (notably his insistence on hand harvesting) ensured only healthy grapes made the cut at Tenuta Manenti. The result is a wine of great purity and concentration, which wears its considerable complexity lightly. There’s verbena and honeydew on the nose; then peach, a strong citrus streak and unmistakable minerality on the palate. Salute Roberto!

About this WINE

Cortese

Cortese

This white grape produces wines in the appellations of Cortese dell'Alto Monferrato, Colli Tortonesi as well as the DOCG wine of Gavi di Gavi. Cortese is a native grape variety of Alessandria in Piedmont and tends to perform best in the hills between Novi and Tortona in Piedmont. The grape has been so successful in Gavi (which is located in the south of Piedmont close to Liguria) that it is known there as Cortese di Gavi.

Typically produces wines that are pale lemon-white in colour, possess a fine fragrance and are steely and dry on the palate. The best examples can develop an intense honeyed richness with medium term ageing.
