Elio Filippino

2011 Gavi Cortese

The Global Wine Co Selection Elio Filippino is a delightful expression of Cortese from the esteemed Gavi region. This vintage showcases a light-bodied profile, making it incredibly refreshing and perfect for warm-weather enjoyment. The wine bursts with bright acidity, invigorating the palate and enhancing its food-friendliness, especially when paired with seafood or light pasta dishes. The fruit intensity is notably pronounced, presenting captivating notes of green apple and citrus, while subtle hints of almond add depth to its character. With a dryness that appeals to enthusiasts of crisp white wines, this vintage excels in delivering both elegance and approachability, making it a charming addition to any gathering.

While France takes the crown for the most famous wines styles and grape varieties, Italy is where wine was first perfected. The ancient Greeks called it Oenotria—"land of the vines"—and the Roman Empire advanced grape growing and winemaking to a level of quality we still enjoy today. But behind Italy's best-known wines, such as Chianti, Barolo and prosecco, there's an almost endless diversity of delights awaiting the intrepid explorer. The key to understanding Italian wine is regionality and (of course) food. From the aromatic and sparkling whites of the north to Sicily's rich and spicy reds, Italy offers wine lovers a lifetime of gastronomic treats.
