Timorasso Derthona 2018 Vietti: a characterful white from the Colli Tortonesi

Timorasso Derthona 2018 Colli Tortonesi DOC Vietti is a Piedmontese white wine capable of uniting territorial identity, aromatic complexity, and excellent versatility at the table.

Territory and wine style

The grapes come from several vineyards in the municipality of Monleale, in the heart of the Colli Tortonesi, an area dedicated to enhancing Timorasso. The southeast and southwest exposures favor complete ripening, while the calcareous-clay soils contribute to giving personality, tension, and a mineral sensation that emerges with evolution. The choice of fermentation and aging in ceramic, wood, and steel, along with contact with fine lees and batonnage, defines a deeper and more structured style, without sacrificing the precision of the fruit.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it appears clear, with an intense yellow color and greenish reflections. On the nose, it expresses aromas of pear and peach, accompanied by floral notes of acacia and hawthorn, along with a delicate honeyed hint. With evolution, mineral nuances may emerge and, in some cases, a hint of hydrocarbon typical of the grape variety. On the palate, the wine is dry, warm, and soft, well-balanced, with good acidity in the finish that supports a long persistence and makes the sip dynamic and satisfying.
