A Bright Expression of Cortese
Delight in the crisp and refreshing allure of Vanedda Bianco Cortese, a charming white wine that embodies the essence of its Italian origins. This delightful offering is perfect for those seeking a vibrant and easy-drinking experience.
Tasting Notes
Intensely golden in colour, which comes from the skin contact and aging in large oak botti, Vanedda Bianco captivates with a prominent bouquet of coconut and tropical fruit notes, complemented by an undercurrent of gentle spices. On the palate, this wine reveals a richness balanced by well-integrated acidity, showcasing excellent structure and length. Bright notes of green apple, pear, and citrus zest harmonise beautifully with the wine’s deeper tropical character, leading to a clean and refreshing finish that invites another sip.
Craftsmanship and Terroir
To produce Vanedda, the winemakers were inspired by ancient Sicilian traditions, resulting in a unique, highly individual wine. This exceptional blend features two classic Sicilian grape varieties, Cataratto and Grillo, which are fermented on their skins, just as wine was made in years gone by. The grapes are carefully hand-harvested into small baskets, with only the highest quality fruit selected for Vanedda.
After harvest, the grapes are refrigerated at 10°C for around 24 hours. The vinification process begins with careful de-stemming, followed by skin fermentation for at least two days. The wine is then separated from the skins and completes fermentation in 30hl oak botti. Following fermentation, the wine rests on the lees for at least seven months and remains in bottle for an additional six months before being released onto the market.
Perfect Pairings
This versatile white wine pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes. Enjoy it alongside light seafood, such as grilled fish or prawns, or with fresh salads and vegetable dishes. It's also a delightful match for creamy pasta dishes and soft cheeses, enhancing your dining experience.

from 481 reviewsThis is a superb wine - full but not heavy, fruity and smooth. Perfect for sharing on an autumn evening.

Stunning depth and rich body. I can almost tell if a red wine is going to be good by the lack of a white rim around when you pour the glass. This has a lovely blood ted colour and delivers.

I'm just going to be honest here, I'm a Gavi Girl and have been trying to find this little gem for a while. It's absolutely delicious and so adaptable too. Thrilled with the price, delivery and service and happily ordering more!

A lovely drink and remarkably good value . Smooth and buttery with that unmistakable Napa terroir writ large. Nothing not to like.

Another fantastic wine tasting. But with a difference. Wine bottles concealed in black numbered bags 1-7. Black glasses. So we were unaware of what we were tasting, having to rely on taste and smell alone. We had tasting notes to guide our thoughts once we had made a few notes ourselves. It was great fun. I managed to at least figure out whether or not the wine was red. But missed the rose and mistook one white for red.
The Wine Shop tasting are great fun. Highly recommend.

Great evening getting confused and educated at the very interesting Mystery Wine Tasting with 7 secret wines in black bags to taste using black glasses so you couldn’t tell if it was white, rose, or red. Kelli and Caroline gave great guidance and helped us work through what we were smelling and tasting to get to a grape and country. My two fears were that (1) I wouldn’t recognise a Tempranillo (especially as it turned out to be one I have often purchased!) and (2) that I’d actually like a Merlot!!! (Luckily there wasn’t one 😂). Another brilliant wine tasting.

We really enjoyed the Rose Wine Tasting which showcased a great selection of styles so that there was something that suited everyone around our table . Really informative about the different production methods and busted some myths! Wine Shop Winscombe tastings are always great value and great fun.

The first time I tasted the Long Barn I paid £15 for a large glass in a upmarket town pub. £15!! Oh my though, it was delicious..
Full bodied, fruity with and intense spicy finish, I had to fight my partner for the rest of the glass once he’d been given a taste.
Imagine my delight when I found it here at Vinoshop for less than £15 for the bottle! I’ll take a cheeky box of 6 thanks!

Another great wine tasting, with an exciting range of Summer Wines. Starting with a surprisingly good gently sparkling Asti, with an outstanding Penfolds 311 Chardonnay, with some fresh Summery reds including a great, full bodied Cabernet Franc from Argentina. As ever, expertly curated and explained. Looking forward to the next tastings.

The dark fruit, hint of spice and chocolate make for a truly delicious Valpolicella! I’m here to order another six bottle.. yum! 😋

I am very much enjoying this whisky in the evening for a night cap. It is beautifully smooth, well balanced, with a elegant floral sweetness.

I recently shopped at vinoshop.co.uk and was really impressed. The website is easy to use, with helpful wine descriptions that made choosing the right bottle a lot simpler. I was looking for a gift for a Ruby anniversary, and their team suggested a stunning Portuguese red wine—it was perfect!
The checkout process was smooth, and my order arrived quickly, beautifully packaged. Plus, the customer service was fantastic—they were quick to answer my questions and offer great advice.
If you're after quality wines and excellent service, I highly recommend The Wine Shop. It’s a great experience from start to finish.

Thank you so much for the recommendation, it went beautifully with the mackerel we had last night.

Just right for sharing with my visiting family and now for supping on the Isles of Scilly.
Thank you Matthew and Kelli (and new team member Carolyn? whom I have yet to meet!). Great to hear about your new business plans. J.

Pre-selected white wine case of 12, a lovely selection perfect for summer bbq’s and entertaining. Super fast delivery too.
