Ercole Monferrato DOC Bianco 2024 1L

If you’ve been holding out for a hero, Ercole may be it. Hailing from the hills of Monferrato, this delightful liter named after the mythical Hercules does all the heavy lifting for you. Composed of mostly cortese and rounded out by the likes of chardonnay and a little sauvignon blanc, the grapes come from vines ranging from 30 to 50 years old. Growers for the cooperative responsible for the Ercole wines work sustainably, adhering to the European Union rule for sustainable farming known as lotta integrata. Both vinification (which occurs in inox) and bottling are certified vegan. Expect zippy acidity and notable minerality grounded by Meyer lemon and honeydew. Ideal for book club or pasta parties on the patio. Sustainably grown, vegan.
