Like a charming lady, Cortigiana uses her weapons to seduce every palate. An Italian interpretation of a Belgian Blanche in perfect Birra Del Borgo style. We use alternative cereals in addition to barley malt: buckwheat, einkorn and a small percentage of oat flakes. The hops are moderate while the spices are generously added during the last step of the boiling: we add a good amount of ginger to the classic coriander and orange peel. The result is a very fresh, smooth and elegant Blanche with a unique aromatic profile.

Weirdly shaped 33cl bottle at an Osteria in Bologna. Can’t tell you how it looks, bottle was served with no glass. Smells of malt, herbs, grass, straw, coriander, soggy bread. Flavor follows, some grist, some bread, coriander, straw. Dry finish. Fine.
