This is what good wine from the Cortese grape tastes like

The Cortese grape can produce full-bodied, relatively neutral white wines with fresh acidity of greengage and lime. But the Cortese is tricky. It swears by long, sunny summers and relies heavily on its fresh acidity. In the hands of a less talented winemaker, it can become utterly bored and produce equally dull wines.

Cortese grows primarily in Piedmont, Italy, and has done so for at least four hundred years. It is particularly popular around the town of Gavi, in the Sésia Valley, and around Monferrato. A bottle of DOC Cortese del Alto Monferrato, Gavi di Gavi, and Colli Tortonesi contains only the juice of this challenging grape. It pairs well with fish dishes.
