- Dry and fresh with green apple and lemon flavours complemented by white pepper on the pithy finish. Made from the Cortese grape, this is dry and refreshing, with vibrant and fruity aromatics underpinned by floral nuances. It is intense and fruit-driven on the palate, with notes of crunchy green apple, mineral tones, and a delicious mouthwatering lemon peel finish.
The grapes were harvested at optimum maturity and phenolic ripeness. They were gently pressed before fermentation, which took place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 18 to 20°C and lasted approximately 10 days. The wine was left to rest in a tank for four months, preserving the freshness and purity of the fruit before being bottled.

| Winery | The Cortese is a white grape variety typical of the Piemonte area. It is grown on the Monferrato hills, in marl clay and sandy soils. It is not a very robust variety and requires good climatic conditions to ripen properly, but has found its place in the vineyard on these hillsides producing a fresh wine rich in minerality, expressing the terroir of the Monferrato hills. The wine takes its name from the beautiful Princess Adelasia, the bride of Aleramo, who was the first Marquis of Monferrato. Established in 1871, San Silvestro has produced DOC and DOCG wines from its estate winery in the Commune of Novello in Piedmont. The traditional varieties are mostly grown in the Langhe and from vineyards in the Roero and the Monferrato regions. Founded by Giovanni Sartirano, San Silvestro and passed down through four generations today, it is run by cousins Paolo and Guido Sartirano. Following the family traditions and ethos, they hold the Equalitas certification for their sustainably cultivated vineyards and produce modern wines that express the Piedmont region's traditional varieties and distinctive terroir. Over the years, San Silvestro has gradually expanded beyond the local market, and their award-winning wines are internationally recognized. |
