This orange wine brings together Inzolia and Zibibbo organic grapes to create a delicious, fruity and fresh wine. The wine gets its orange colour from contact with the grape skins.
At Cortese, we produce wine in the most traditional and natural way to reflect the true character of the estate’s terroir and its grape varieties. Taking tradition as our inspiration, we started to employ ancient wine-making techniques such as fermentation in terracotta. The resulting wines reflect the combination of modern technology and traditional techniques, with every nuance of the terroir showing through.
The wines are fermented on the skins at a controlled temperature of between 17 and 19 °C. The Inzolia is macerated for 2-3 weeks, Zibibbo for 6 weeks with daily, gentle punching down during the 7-10 days of fermentation.
Once the fermentation if finished the wines are then blended together and left on fine lees for about 3 months before bottling.
A highly versatile wine, it can only be consumed as an aperitif and is perfect in combination with fish dishes with oriental scents and pasta.
Pale lemon in colour, this Sauvignon combines aromas of fresh grapefruit and lime, followed by gooseberry and melon on the palate. All creating a crisp lively finish.

This wine was made exclusively with Chardonnay from the Santa Lucia Highlands, where early-morning sun and cooling afternoon breezes create an ideal environment for the varietal. A lovely hue of pale gold, this Chardonnay opens to a nose of golden apple, tropical fruit and toasted oak. A sip reveals flavors of pear, peach, vanilla and pineapple.This medium-bodied wine has a creamy mouthfeel and firm acidity, making it a perfect partner for cream-based pasta dishes, poached salmon with mango chutney and holiday turkey.
An exuberant Sauvignon with attractive, juicy tropical fruit aromas and flavours. Good weight and character with a positive, fresh finish. Medium bodied with ripe red fruits and a lingering aftertaste.

This is a modern version of an old Italian classic. Well balanced, it has a fine flowery fragrance with fresh flavours of exotic fruit and acacia honey.
Several important critics have rated this Drama wine highly.
Critic tasting note: (2021 vintage) "White-peach and lemon aromas invigorate the nose of this straw-colored, nearly translucent wine. It's light bodied, with bright tropical-fruit and citrus flavors on the palate, followed by the pleasant bitterness of lemon pith on the lengthy finish." - 90/100, Wine Enthusiast
KEFALONIA.....A bone-dry and intriguing wine with a heady mix of iodine, peaty aromas, exotic fresh fruit, melon and dried pear. Mouth-wateringly fresh on the palate with plenty of tension on the long finish. Vinified following a philosophy of minimal intervention. A cool pre-fermentation maceration lasted for eight to 10 hours to extract aromas and flavours. The free run musts and pressed musts were fermented separately with wild yeasts at controlled temperatures before spending one month on the fine lees with periodical stirring to impart texture and complexity. The wine was gently filtered prior to being bottled. The bottle was then submerged UNDER FRESH WATER, in special tanks in the winery. This new method of maturation promotes constant temperatures, darkness and lack of oxygen, resulting in an aromatic wine, with a pure fruit character. 91 points Robert Parker
Bright, hay green.
Very expressive nose with the aromas of rose, exotic fruit and peach in the foreground, and notes of freshly cut grass in the background.
Pleasant and cool at first with very good volume and acidity. Plenty of fruit and fine finish.
Food Pairing:
Loves intensely aromatic dishes like the ones from India or northern Africa. Also a good match with Greek wild greens pies or salads with fruit and worth trying with traditional Greek meat and greens caseroles like pork with leek and celery.
Bright, yellow-green colour
Intense with vegetal and terpenic hints on a background of white flowers and white fleshed fruit.
Round and full, with refreshing acidity and great freshness. Intense taste, with a long finish dominated by aromas of peach and apricot.
Food Pairing:
On its own as an aperitif or with green salads especially the ones with either aromatic herbs in their composition such as dill or fennel or fruit, like grapefruit, peach or apple, as well as soups with herbs. Great with mild creamy cheeses like manouri or brie.
Ardeche Chardonnay presents itself with a brilliant straw hue, revealing aromas of green apple that will develop into more honey and almond notes after 2-3 years of aging. An initial attack of acidity leads to a persistence on the palate. A gentle wine that is well balanced.
Golden colour with light green glints Characteristic nose of white fruits (peach, pear) and white flowers .In the mouth, the pleasure of the fruit combined with
a buttery sensation stick to a nice lingering finish.
ORGANIC.
Its freshness and liveliness come from vinification in stainless steel vats and oak barrels, revealing aromas of white flowers and yellow fruits. On the palate, this balanced and mineral wine pairs perfectly with fish, white meats, and poultry. Ideal for drinking young or for keeping a few years.
