Bee Cren

I remember its buzzing on these lovely slopes…
and recall green meadows I used to know
where the grass was fine and the soft wind blew
as fresh as the Cortese I offer to you!

Grape variety

Cortese 100%

Production area and characteristics

Grapes for this wine come from the Alessandria province. The exposure of the mid-altitude hill vineyards and the composition of the terrain (calcareous marl) ensure the production of high quality grapes.

80 hectolitres.

Vinification

Grapes are harvested by hand and then directly very soft crushed. Fermentation takes place at low temperature without contact with the skins (white vinification) in order to emphasize the aromas and characteristics of the grape variety.

A vintage wine, it is ready for bottling at the beginning of the year after harvest.

A white to drink every day, it goes well with appetizers, low fat white meat and fish.
