Cortenova
Cortenova produces wines from Puglia, in southern Italy's sun-drenched landscape. The winery's portfolio centers on varieties suited to the region's warm climate and limestone soils. Its Pinot Grigio offers the crisp, mineral character typical of the variety, while its Montepulciano d'Abruzzo and Primitivo showcase the darker, riper profiles that define Puglian red wine. These wines have been assessed by Wine Advocate, Wine Spectator, and Wine Enthusiast. The Pinot Grigio averages 86.8 in prestige ratings; both the Montepulciano d'Abruzzo and Primitivo average 84.0. Cortenova's range reflects the diversity of southern Italian viticulture—from white wines of freshness and acidity to reds built on indigenous and regional grapes.
