Your new every day white wine! Ercole (Say "Air-Koh-Lay") means "Hercules" in Italian and is an ode to the mighty growers from a cooperative in Monferrato, Piemonte who harvest the grapes for these wines. 80% Cortese, a local Piemonte varietal perhaps best known as the main grape in Gavi, with the remainder split between Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. Extremely crushable with pear fruit, minerality and bright acidity. In a lovely 1 Liter oversized bottle. Your new every day porch pounder.
This is an incredibly versatile table wine that pairs beautifully with:
- Oysters and clams
- Grilled shrimp
- Fresh fish
- Crab cakes
- Sushi
- Goat cheese
- Summer salads
- Chicken piccata
- Pasta with lemon or herbs
