Variety - Cortese
Region - Piemonte
Country - Italy
Year - 2013

Wine Critic Review - The Washington Post
"Great Value! Treat this terrific little white like a red: Don't chill it too much, then let it open for a half-hour to develop its enticing tropical fruit flavors. It's dry, but the fruit gives an appealing illusion of sweetness. Great as an aperitif or with light seafood dishes."

My Review - This wine smelled like very strong citrus/grapefruit and honey. It had a hint of almonds and like a strong almond or vanilla extract. It tasted like shaved lemon peel, flowers, sour apple and the finish reminded me of the acidic feeling in your throat after drinking orange juice. I did not try this wine with food.
