Varietal: Cortese

The Cortese white wine grape varietal has been cultivated for several hundred years in its native home of Piedmont, Italy. In particular, the southern part of this beautiful and mountainous region sees a large amount of Cortese grape production, as the grape grows most successfully in the warmer and drier parts of Piedmont, where the cold weather cannot adversely effect this delicate varietal by concentrating the natural acids within the fruit. Cortese grapes are renowned for their moderate acidity, and the fact that they produce delicate white wines of a medium body which are easy to drink, and beautifully aromatic. Most typically, they carry fresh and invigorating flavours of green fruits such as lime and greengage, meaning the wines made from Cortese are very crisp, and famously perfect for matching with seafood.

Region: Piedmont

The beautiful region of Piedmont in the north west of Italy is responsible for producing many of Europe's finest red wines. Famous appellations such as Barolo and Barbaresco are the envy of wine-makers all over the world, and attract plenty of tourism as a result of their traditional techniques and the stunning setting they lie in. The region has a similar summer climate to nearby French regions such as Bordeaux, but the rest of their year is considerably colder, and far drier as a result of the rain shadow cast by the Alps. The wineries which cover much of Piedmont have, over many generations, mastered how to make the most of the Nebbiolo, Dolcetto and Barbera grapes which thrive here, and nowadays are beginning to experimenting with many imported varietals to increase the region's range and meet international demand.

Country: Italy

There are few countries in the world with a viticultural history as long or as illustrious as that claimed by Italy. Grapes were first being grown and cultivated on Italian soil several thousand years ago by the Greeks and the Pheonicians, who named Italy 'Oenotria' – the land of wines – so impressed were they with the climate and the suitability of the soil for wine production. Of course, it was the rise of the Roman Empire which had the most lasting influence on wine production in Italy, and their influence can still be felt today, as much of the riches of the empire came about through their enthusiasm for producing wines and exporting it to neighbouring countries. Since those times, a vast amount of Italian land has remained primarily for vine cultivation, and thousands of wineries can be found throughout the entire length and breadth of this beautiful country, drenched in Mediterranean sunshine and benefiting from the excellent fertile soils found there. Italy remains very much a 'land of wines', and one could not imagine this country, its landscape and culture, without it.
