Dave McIntyre, wine columnist for the Washington Post, selected the Bricco dei Tati Cortese as his top pick in his column titled “Recession Busters.” This is an indigenous grape to the Piemonte region of Italy which usually gets muscled out by the region’s Barolos, Barberescos, and other more famous varietals.
Dave says…
Bricco dei Tati Cortese, 2008
Piedmont, Italy $9.00
Great Value! Treat this terrific little white like a red: Don’t chill it too much, then let it open for a half-hour to develop its enticing tropical fruit flavors. It’s dry, but the fruit gives an appealing illusion of sweetness. Great as an aperitif or with light seafood dishes.
