Bottazzi Lorenzo Tenuta Monterosso: the wines of the Colli Tortonesi
The Bottazzi Lorenzo Tenuta Monterosso collection gathers a selection of Piedmontese wines that authentically tell the story of the Colli Tortonesi and the vocation of a historic winery now run by the Bottazzi family for four generations. At the heart of the production is primarily the Timorasso, a grape variety that symbolizes the territory, accompanied by expressions capable of enhancing identity, finesse, and longevity.
The vineyards are located in Piedmont, in the DOC Colli Tortonesi area, at an average altitude of about 280 meters above sea level. Here, the production choice is oriented towards quality and sustainability, with vineyard work designed to preserve the territory and to obtain wines of strong personality. It is an ideal selection for those seeking substantial territorial whites, but also for those who want to discover a reality that has decisively focused on the recovery and enhancement of a great indigenous grape variety.
The Timorasso according to Monterosso
The Timorasso is the stylistic heart of this winery. Historically among the most appreciated grape varieties in the province of Alessandria, it experienced a long phase of near disappearance before its rebirth. In the wines of Tenuta Monterosso, it expresses itself with aromas of light honey, spices, white flowers, citrus, and hazelnut, combined with a pleasant minerality and good acidity.
The texture in the mouth is often creamy and enveloping, with a structure capable of supporting evolution over time. It is precisely this longevity that makes Timorasso an interesting choice for those who love complex whites, gastronomic and destined to develop elegantly in the bottle.
The labels of the collection
- Italo Timorasso Colli Tortonesi DOC
- Monterosso Timorasso Colli Tortonesi DOC
These labels express two interpretations of the same territorial identity, always keeping the character of Timorasso and the precise reading of the Colli Tortonesi at the center. The presence of a Barbera Bric dei Serpenti in the winery's production history also confirms a broader connection with Piedmont and the local winemaking tradition.
When to choose them and which dishes to pair them with

This collection is designed for enthusiasts, collectors, and curious individuals who want to discover rare wines from Piedmont, with a recognizable style and a strong territorial imprint.
