La Mesma 'Le Rose' - Cortese

In 2021, this Cortese wine hails from Gavi, Italy. La Mesma, an organic winery owned by women, is run by the Rosina sisters - Paola, Francesca, and Anna, following their mother's wish to prevent land waste. The vineyard's soil has medium density and is calcium - rich, typical of low - altitude areas. Even though it's not near the sea, coastal winds reach the vines, giving the wine a unique saline minerality. With flavors of Meyer lemon, pear, and white peach, it's a perfect match for seafood paella or antipasto.

This wine is ready to drink right out of the bottle. Just chill it in the fridge for a couple of hours before serving. For the best taste, pour it into a wine glass and let it breathe for a few minutes. When pairing it with food, seafood paella or antipasto are great choices. Store the unopened bottle in a cool, dark place. Once opened, keep it in the fridge and try to finish it within a few days to maintain its freshness.
