We are excited to share that three of our Cortese wines have been awarded impressively high scores by WeinWirtshaft.
The category is described as "A compact and high-quality selection of international novelties on the market,” and they go on to explain the criteria, as follows:
While some producers are redefining their regional focus, others are developing new wine styles or experimenting with grape varieties atypical for their region. It’s an exciting approach that positions itself between affordable volume wines and high-end niche products: terroir-driven, modern, internationally minded, with premium options that attract attention. Contemporary, market-oriented, and designed for growth in exports.
The scores and tasting notes are as follows:
