It is made exclusively from Cortese, a traditional Italian grape variety that is deeply rooted in the viticultural history of northwestern Italy and frequently cultivated in the Piedmont region, particularly around Gavi.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePiedmont, which literally translates to \"at the foot of the mountains,\" is located in the northwestern corner of Italy, bordered by the Alps to the north and west, and the Apennines to the south. The region is characterized by its dramatic, steep hills and a continental climate featuring cold winters, warm summers, and significant temperature variations between day and night. Vineyards here are typically planted on slopes to maximize sun exposure and drainage, with soils predominantly composed of calcareous marl, sandstone, clay, and sand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe area is renowned for its intense focus on terroir and is home to many small, passionate, family-run estates. A classic characteristic of the Piedmontese landscape is the thick autumn morning fog that blankets the hills, protecting the vineyards and influencing the ripening period of the grapes. While the region holds the highest number of DOC and DOCG appellations in Italy and is globally recognized for its red wines, it also maintains a strong tradition of white wine production using local varieties like Cortese. This 2004 vintage is presented in a 750ml bottle with an alcohol content of 12% by volume.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Azienda Agricola Alessandro","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57670598590790,"sku":null,"price":120.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-1678_89eb876a-15ae-4260-a026-b36fc17813aa.jpg?v=1792582996","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.com\/products\/piemonte-cortese-azienda-agricola-alessandro-2004","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
