Monolite

Monferrato DOC Casalese Cortese

Monolite is our renaissance Cortese. It is the first label that we produced, a symbol of Hic et Nunc’s new vision of Monferrato: purity in variety, respect for tradition, “naked” vinification, respecting the needs of each individual grape variety.

Monolite is our Cortese, a symbol of varietal purity and respect for tradition, “naked” vinification, respecting the needs of each individual grape variety.

The grapes are harvested by hand, and come from white marl soils that emphasise the pleasant minerality of the wine. Ageing takes place in steel, apart from a small percentage that is aged in barrels for a few months; a technique that allows the original fragrances of the grape to be preserved while lending the wine increased structure.

Monolite is rich, opulent, long-lived, well balanced between fruit and freshness, capable of ageing and evolving over time on tertiary tones such as flint, hydrocarbon compounds, citrus notes. A surprising journey to discover the infinite expressive potential of Cortese.
