{"product_id":"icardi-laurora-cortese-piemonte-doc-2023","title":"Icardi \"L'Aurora\" Cortese Piemonte DOC 2023","description":"\u003cp\u003eIcardi L'Aurora Cortese is straw-yellow in color and opens with pleasantly fruity aromas, infused with notes of white flowers, ripe peach, green apple, lime zest and almond blossom, with a hint of fresh citrus peel and herbal subtlety. The light to medium-bodied palate is balanced, zesty and soft, with crisp acidity and a clean, bright core. Flavors of pear, lemon-lime and almond are complemented by a chalky mineral underpinning. The texture is fresh and lively, with admirable clarity and finesse, making it exceptionally approachable and refreshing. The clean and persistent finish of lemon zest and orchard fruit fades into a stony mineral echo, ending with a refined saline lift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Icardi winery, established in the early 1960s, has long been at the forefront of organic and biodynamic winemaking in Piedmont. The family's winemaking philosophy emphasizes minimal intervention, respecting the natural cycles of the vineyards to produce wines that authentically express their terroir. Icardi is known for its clean, elegant and expressive wines, which consistently garner acclaim for their quality and sustainability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIcardi is in Castiglione Tinella, within the Province of Cuneo, between the Lower Langhe and the Monferrato Regions. Lino Icardi started the company in 1914, only producing wine for family use. In the 1960s, Mr. Pierino started selling his wine stating, “quality needs to be acknowledged and appreciated.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday Icardi still believes that wine production happens in the vineyard more than in the cellar, with deep respect for the cycle of the seasons and the rhythms of nature. They use no nitrogen fertilisers, instead allowing plants to naturally fix the nitrogen in the soil. They do not use herbicides or pesticides, improving the fertility of the soil through green manure.\u0026amp;nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Icardi vineyards extend over 55 hectares, 50 of which are certified organic.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Azienda Agricola Icardi","offers":[{"title":"750 ml","offer_id":52797919625533,"sku":null,"price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/2931\/0781\/files\/Icardi-L-Aurora-Cortese-Piemonte-DOC-2023.jpg?v=1786055198","url":"https:\/\/shopgeraldines.com\/products\/icardi-laurora-cortese-piemonte-doc-2023","provider":"Geraldine's Natural Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
