Natalie's Score: 89/100

If you like pinot grigio, you'll love this! Terrific refreshment with citrus and grapefruit notes. The Cortese grape is the specialty of vineyards near the town of Gavi. Aromatic, crisp and dry.

Cortese (Gavi) food pairings: pan-fried scallops, cheese, poultry, seafood risotto, pasta with cream sauce.

Reviews and Ratings

Lesley Quinn - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

A great value white wine for under $20, with juicy red apple and tart lemon flavours. The mouth watering acidity, medium body, and mild floral finish make it a great partner for rich seafood like shrimp and scallops.
This is a DOCG wine, and Batasiolo is one of its best producers in the region, with some 1,100 ha/2,700 acres of vineyards near the town of Gavi. - Community Wine Reviews
