We are happy to share the excellent accolade that Cortese wines have received by James Suckling:
NOSTRU CARATTATTO LUCIDO TERRE SICILIANE IGP 2023 - 90 pts
A fresh, gently waxy white showing lemons and sliced pears on the nose, with a touch of chamomile. It’s medium-bodied, lightly saline and refreshing. From organically grown grapes. Sustainable. Drink now.
CORTESE VANEDDA BIANCO TERRE SICILIANE IGP 2021 - 91 pts
A broad and ripe white that has notes of sliced peaches, mangoes, pie crust and roasted hazelnuts on the nose. It’s full-bodied with toasty and nutty undertones to the stone fruit. From organically grown grapes. Vegan. Drink now.
NOSTRU NERELLO MASCALESE TERRE SICILIANE IGP 2023 - 91 pts
This is full of juicy berry fruit like strawberries and red cherries. Fresh thyme and violet aromas, too. It’s bright, youthful and medium-bodied with approachable tannins. From organically grown grapes. Vegan. Delicious now.
CORTESE SENIA NERO D’AVOLA SICILIA DOC 2021 - 91 pts
I like the dried-spice, tobacco and ash character to the black plum and black cherry fruit. It’s medium- to full-bodied with plenty of spicy and smoky flavors. Soft tannins. Delicious now.
CORTESE BOSCOPIANO FRAPPATO TERRE SICILIANE IGP 2021 - 92 pt
A pale red with aromas of pink grapefruit, sweet basil, oranges and strawberries. It’s fruity and very fresh with a medium body and fine tannins. Persistent, evolving to raw mushrooms, almonds and rosemary. From organically grown grapes. Vegan. Drink now.
