What is this wine?
La Vecchia Posta is a small, organic farm and winery in the Colli Tortonesi of Piedmont, Italy. The estate is committed to low-intervention farming and winemaking, producing honest wines that reflect local tradition. Saliceto is a white wine made entirely from Cortese, the grape behind Gavi, here grown on hillside vineyards in the Tortona area.
Why get this wine?
This is a distinctive, artisanal Cortese that shows the grape’s character outside of the well-known Gavi DOCG. Produced naturally, with minimal intervention, it offers a more textured and authentic side of Cortese than many commercial bottlings. For fans of Italian whites looking for freshness and originality, this bottle is both affordable and compelling.
What does this wine taste like?
Crisp and mineral-driven, with citrus, green apple, and white peach flavors layered with hints of wild herbs and almond. A subtle saline note reflects its limestone-rich soils, and the texture is slightly rounder than many Gavi bottlings.
When should you drink this wine?
Ideal as an aperitif or alongside light seafood dishes, vegetable antipasti, or fresh cheeses. Best enjoyed young, within 2–3 years of the vintage, to capture its freshness and vitality.
