Wine Shop Review: Great Value! Treat this terrific little white like a red: Don’t chill it too much, then let it open for a half-hour to develop its enticing tropical fruit flavors. It’s dry, but the fruit gives an appealing illusion of sweetness. Great as an aperitif or with light seafood dishes.
Personal Review: I found the Cortese by Bricco dei Tati to bring a citrus and tropical bouquet full of pears, pineapples, and other acidic fruits to the nose. Though the Cortese was very acidic and tart, I still found it to be balanced thanks to the presence of the pears and pineapples that I smelled. At only 11.5% ABV, the fruitiness of the wine definitely saved it from being unbalanced.
Note: I did not consume this wine with food.
