Ercole Bianco 1L

This was the perfect pairing with a light seafood pasta — the Cortese grape really shines through with that minerality. I'll definitely be picking up another bottle for our next Sunday lunch.

Crisp and clean, this white has a lovely mineral backbone that cuts through rich pasta dishes perfectly. The Cortese grape gives it a subtle floral note without being sweet. A great everyday Italian that overdelivers for the price.

The mineral finish is exactly what I want from a Piedmont white—it’s dry but not sharp, and the Cortese grape gives it that clean, almost salty edge. I served it with grilled fish and the refreshing acidity cut through beautifully, so the whole liter disappeared fast.
