Category: Alcoholic Beverages
An ancient variety, indigenous to the Tortonese hills. This is the Timorasso, now brought back to life under the name of Derthona. A white wine of great charm, elegant and powerful. A white wine for true connoisseurs, endowed with a natural minerality and an incredible capacity to mature for a long time. The grapes, in this case harvested strictly by hand, are delivered to the winery in 20 kg crates. Immediately destemmed and crushed, it is cold macerated for 12 hours. At the end of this phase, after a soft pressing, the must is passed into steel vats for the fermentation phase. At the end, the wine remains in steel for about 10 months, at a low temperature and in contact with its fine lees, for a refinement phase and to increase its complexity. This reveals a beautiful goblet characterised by a golden colour with greenish highlights. On the nose, the bouquet is ample and immediately calls to mind exotic fruits and sweet white-fleshed fruit. In the mouth, on the other hand, it is pleasantly fresh, enveloping and harmonious, with a long taste persistence. It is a fabulous aperitif, but also at table it always knows how to make a good impression. With fish-based hors d'oeuvres, for example, or with seafood risotto or simple platters of cold meats and fresh or slightly matured cheeses.
