⭐️90/100⭐️ 𝑫𝒆𝒓𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒏𝒂 𝑪𝒐𝒍𝒍𝒊 𝑻𝒐𝒓𝒕𝒐𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒊, 2018 📍Castiglione Falletto, Barolo, Piemonte, Italy🇮🇹 🍇 100% Timorasso ⚡️ 13 % Tasted: August 2021 First time tasting a Derthona. Lovely wine offering aromas of kiwi, quince, melon rind, raw white mushrooms, marzipan, chamomile and mild petrol, resin and beeswax. There’s a mild scent of white flowers and a nice mineral touch of wet sea stones. The wine is dry, medium-bodied and has a refreshing acidity on the palate. It brings notes of fresh pear, green gooseberry, kiwi, tangerine, ginger, stones from peach and cherry and green bitter salad. * First vintage of Vietti’s Derthona * Grapes are harvested from vineyards located around the town of Monleale in Colli Tortonesi DOC. * Fermentation takes place in steel tanks, ceramic containers and wooden casks. * No malolactic fermentation * Aged 10 months in steel tanks, ceramic containers and wooden barrels on the lees - frequent batonnage. The area of Colli Tortonesi DOC (eastern Piemonte) is most famous for wines based on Barbera, but the ancient, and almost extinct, variety of Timorasso is gaining a lot of attention these years. A real cult variety for those who know it. Wines labeled as "Derthona", which is the traditional name (in the local dialect) for the town of Tortona, after which the Colli Tortonesi DOC is named, are always made by 95-100% Timorasso. Walter Massa might be the main figure when it comes to the rise of Timorasso, but for sure giants from Barolo (like Vietti, La Spinetta and Borgogno) are helping to spread the “news” with their recently achieved vines.
