Bubbly Cortese (as in Gavi di Gavi)? OMG - so good! We only have one case though :(
Trivoli Piemonte DOC Cortese Frizzante When it comes to Romina Tacchino's sparkling Cortese, don't let its light hue and subtle aromatics fool you - this bubbly from Piedmont's Alto Monferrato area possesses a surprising weight and real fortitude in the glass! High altitude vines, artisanal yields, and calcareous, white tufo soils help lend this lip-smacking bubbly its bold, balanced acidity, and 4-6 months on the lees add to both its personality and elegance. With only 3000 bottles made per year, we're lucky to get a US allocation! WINEMAKER BIOGRAPHY Meticulous, thoughtful, and full of joy, Dolcetto masters Romina Tacchino and her brother Alessio work side by side in the high, green hills of Alto Monferrato. Subtle, subalpine aromatics tend to belie complex, powerhouse palates bursting with flavor. And with multiple Tre Bicchiere awards now under their belts, they're clearly just hitting their stride!
