Description
What kind of wine it is
Vietti's Timorasso Derthona is a white wine from the Colli Tortonesi Denomination of Controlled Origin, produced in Piedmont from Timorasso grapes aged in ceramic, steel and wood. It stands out for its intense yellow colour with bright greenish highlights. The bouquet releases clear pear and peach aromas, enriched by notes of acacia blossom, hawthorn and a distinctive touch of honey. On the palate, it is dry, warm and enveloping, with impeccable balance. The drink is supported by a marked acidity that ensures a long-lasting flavour.
Where it comes from
The grapes come from the Colli Tortonesi, specifically from vineyards located in the municipality of Monleale. The vines grow on calcareous-clay soils, key elements that give the wine deep minerality and a well-defined structure. Thanks to the optimal south-east and south-west exposures, the bunches reach perfect ripeness. This unique microclimate enhances the characteristics of the grape variety, offering a faithful expression of the Derthona territory.
How it is produced
Harvesting takes place in mid-September. Fermentation, lasting about four weeks, is carried out in stages between ceramic vats, steel and barrels. To preserve the original aromatic profile, malolactic fermentation is not carried out. The wine matures for ten months in the same containers, resting on the fine lees. Through regular bâtonnage, the yeasts are kept in suspension to enrich the structure and final harmony of the sip.
History and Curiosities
Produced by the historic Vietti winery, founded in 1873, Timorasso Derthona expresses the organic soul of the Colli Tortonesi. This outstanding wine has been awarded 93 points by the prestigious Decanter magazine. Among its distinctive features is its extraordinary longevity: it can evolve magnificently over 5 to 10 years, developing over time a typical and fascinating hint of hydrocarbon.
