Tasting Notes: The Bianco Secco entices with an aromatic nose of white flowers, citrus, and hints of fresh herbs. The palate enjoys a lively and refreshing attack, as flavors of zesty lemon, white melon, green apple, and delicate mineral undertones intertwine harmoniously. A mid-palate of vibrant acidity and a touch of bitter almond complexity adds depth to the wine. The finish is crisp and invigorating, leaving a lasting impression of purity and vibrancy.

About Corte Mainente: Established by post-war Veneto wine legend Ugo Mainente, Corte Mainente has produced over 60 vintages of Bianco Secco, all of which demonstrated his deep, continued commitment to crafting wines that reflect the rich heritage of the region. With the addition of Ugo's two sons to the Corte family, and partnership with Lyle Railsback of France+Western imports, we are honored to receive allocations of the exclusive U.S. bottling of Bianco Secco since the inaugural 2021 vintage.

Label Art: Giorgio Gioco was the famous chef and owner of 12 Apostoli in Verona whose handwriting adorned Quintarelli’s original hand-drawn labels. He is also a longtime friend of Ugo Mainente, and thus David Mainente wanted to design a label for our US bottling that would pay homage to this handmade spirit of their work.
