Derthona 2023 Colli Tortonesi Timorasso DOC Borgogno

Derthona 2023 Colli Tortonesi Timorasso DOC Borgogno

Derthona 2023 Borgogno is a white wine of great personality, made from 100% Timorasso grapes from the Colli Tortonesi and Monleale. A wine that precisely interprets one of the most iconic white grape varieties of Piedmont, combining structure, tension, and aromatic complexity in an elegant and contemporary profile.

Territory and wine style

The grapes come from vineyards located in the Colli Tortonesi, with southwest, south, and east exposures at about 250 meters above sea level. The clayey-limestone soils help define a clear, deep Timorasso with a strong territorial imprint. The harvest, carried out at the end of September, allows for the collection of ripe grapes rich in expression. The wine's style is consistent with the grape variety's vocation: a structured white, savory in character, and capable of developing great complexity with bottle aging.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents an intense yellow color, consistent and very clear. The aromatic profile is broad and complex: in the early years, sensations of pear, peach, and white flowers such as acacia and hawthorn emerge, accompanied by hints of honey and a typical hydrocarbon note, a distinctive sign of Timorasso. On the palate, it is dry, broad, and warm, with a soft texture supported by a good balance between alcohol content and freshness. It shows no edges, but a harmonious, full, and very persistent body, capable of leaving a long and satisfying sensation.

Recommended pairings

Derthona 2023 Borgogno pairs well with dishes of good structure and flavorful seafood preparations, such as baked fish, shellfish, seafood risottos, and fish mains with light sauces. It is also ideal with white meats, veal, tajarin with butter and mushrooms, moderately spicy aged cheeses, and traditional Piedmontese cuisine. Its complexity makes it suitable for more meditative tasting moments as well.

Serving temperature

Serve Derthona 2023 Borgogno at a temperature of 6-8 °C to enhance its freshness, aromas, and aromatic finesse. If opened in advance, it can better express its complex component and the more evolved part of the bouquet, especially in the first years after bottling.
