Picked up on a close out; first Cortese wine I can remember having. Straw gold color. Nose is predominantly petrol with a bit of floral undertones. Taste is a slightly bitter melon with more of the petrol coming through. I have to wonder if this is past its prime. Glad I didn't pay a lot for this. Would have to really think about buying again.

Bright gold color with some cloudiness. Reserved nose giving mainly petrol (or is it oak?) with some fresh fruit and floral notes; became more expressive with time in the glass. On the palate this is medium weight with nice balance. Fresh fruit flavors expand evenly across the palate; not very intense, but pleasant. Acidity builds at the finish which is a bit clipped and for an instant slightly bitter. Not bad at all given a clearance price under $6 per.
