Vino Bianco "Scapulin" - Giuseppe Cortese

A white wine from Piedmont made by Giuseppe Cortese from grapes grown on clay, limestone and tuff soils. After careful hand harvesting, it matures for about 10 months, partly in steel, partly in new and used barriques and partly in amphora, then stabilises for 6 months in bottle. The nose shows ripe yellow fruit, vanilla, dried fruit and toasted notes; the palate is full and enveloping, lifted by freshness and savouriness. It is suggested with medium-aged cheeses.
