MOSBY Cortese

MOSBY Cortese Wine Details
Price:

Description: The 2004 Mosby Cortese is Bill Mosby's fourth release of this delightful Cal-Italia wine, made from estate-grown fruit. Light and clean, the soft floral nose is followed by flavors of citrus and apricot with a crisp, mineral finish.

Varietal Definition
Cortese:
Cortese is a minor grape grown in the Piedmont region of Italy, used to make that region’s dry white wine known as ‘Gavi’. The resulting wine can be described as typically Italian, with high acidity, neutral flavor and delicate aromas. Although the wines are rarely of exceptional quality, they command a relatively high price because of Piedmont's esteemed location as a viticultural region. A few dedicated Italian producers have planted the grape in California, but its acreage is miniscule.
