Ercole Bianco Monferrato

What’s in the bottle?
At their best, wines made from the native grape
variety Cortese boast a serious yet pleasing weight,
pronounced minerality, and beautiful acidity. In fact,
the Cortese-based wines of nearby Gavi are among the
most treasured whites of Northern Italy. We have
discovered that adding a touch of Chardonnay and
Sauvignon Blanc further sharpens and thereby
elevates this wine.
Fun fact: Cortese was first documented in 1614,
when the Castle of Casale Monferrato documented the
grape in its ledger.
