Cantine Lanzavecchia
Cren dell' Ape Piemonte Cortese
Alba, Cuneo, Piedmont, Italy
Pale, near white yellow. Nose of lime peel, bicarbonate, and white flowers. Light-bodies palate gives citrus rind, white mineral, and lime (the rock and the fruit) wrapped in bracing acidity. A nice intro to the grape that makes Gavi (but do make sure the official stuff I on your list). Acidity that will cut through the richest of dishes, and a flavor profile that will compliment nearly all classic white wine foods. Drink now.

From Cortese grape, pale yellow with aromas of crisp stone & citrus fruits with floral notes. Palate shows ripe peach and mango flavors with citrus and citrus notes. Screaming acidity ending with a tart mineral character. Needs food.

2023 Cren dell’Ape Cortese Blanc
Piemonte, Italy – 100% Cortese
A crisp, charming white made entirely from native Cortese grapes grown in the heart of Piemonte. Bright, floral, and effortlessly drinkable, this one’s got personality.
On the nose, expect delicate white flowers and juicy yellow peach, with a hint of stony minerality. The palate is a vibrant mix of yellow and tropical fruits, like a sun-kissed fruit bowl in a glass. Fresh, zippy, and super easy to love.
It’s the kind of wine you open “just for a glass” and suddenly it’s gone. Always a crowd-pleaser. Give it a go, you won’t regret it. Cheers! 🍑🌼🥂

This was a really nice wine, food friendly and delicious. You’ve got a core of bright citrus, but around the edges you’ve got ripe stone fruit and red apple. Floral and mineral notes round out the picture. A nice obscure grape from a solid region.
