Smells like the fog. I've had many esoteric bottles of this that might've been re-fermenting- but the13 has the Cortese shouting loudest at the dinner table out of the 4 grapes invited; and he's bringing a touch of class to the party. Minerals for dinner.

Macerated apple cider nose. Fizzy, sour green apple cider palate. High acid. Not what I look for in a white wine.

The new 2012 has just arrived in the warehouse. Very slight frizzante, generous yet focused, nice bite of fruit.

Cool, funky, weird. Italy at its best doing fun, interesting, compelling wine for ridiculously cheap. Nice!
