About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The Cortese fruit is grown in the Gavi area of Piedmont. The area's proximity to Liguria gives its winemaking traditions more in common with Liguria than with the rest of Piedmont, contributing to a light, fruity style.

Tasting profile

Delicate and well balanced, with medium acidity and refreshing citrus notes that persist through the finish.

Serving and pairing

Pairs well with oysters, mussels and other shellfish, as well as pasta and fish.

Label / history

Morando was founded in the late nineteenth century to preserve Piedmont's winemaking traditions.
