100% Cortese

Biodynamic

 

Pale yellow color with silver reflections. The nose reveals citrus blossom, green apple, and wet stone minerality. The palate shows crisp acidity with medium body, featuring flavors of lemon, white peach, and a distinctive saline finish.

 

Cortese grapes grown in the Piedmont region of northwest Italy. The vineyard sits on limestone-rich soils at 280 meters elevation, where maritime influences from the nearby Ligurian coast moderate temperatures and preserve natural acidity. Peron applies biodynamic farming principles and hand-harvests the grapes at peak aromatic maturity. Fermentation occurs spontaneously with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks, maintaining the grape's delicate character. The wine ages on fine lees for five months without filtration or sulfur additions.
