Oltretorrente Cortese

In Oltretorrente Cortese Colli Tortonesi, Oltretorrente is the company and Cortese the grape (south-east Italian grape, Piedmont). I worked this out from the website, because it's difficult to tell from the label which is partly unreadable because of tiny, orange text. It is almost the colour of lemon water, with nut in the aroma and some pear and lemon there too. It's clean, light and refreshing on the palate. You'd want quite simple food: peanuts or a light fish like whiting, or maybe steamed chicken, maybe pesto pasta, or spinach and fetta pastries. It's delightful in its lightness and freshness. There's no year on the label, but the profile of a man's face.
