Montecitorio Vino Bianco Vigneti Massa 2012

The "Montecitorio" of the Vigneti Massa winery is a white wine produced with Timorasso grapes that is marked by its strong mineral note. The wine has a nice golden yellow color, with fruity and floral notes, with hints of acacia flowers, dried fruit, citrus peel and honey, in addition to a mineral background. The taste is fresh and persistent. It is perfect to drink fresh as an aperitif or in combination with first fish courses.

The Vigneti Massa winery was founded in 1879 and now boasts a property of 23 hectares on the hills of Monleale, in Piedmont about 300 meters above sea level. We find the typical wines of the area such as Barbera, the Croatina and the Freisa, but especially the Timorasso, to which 10 hectares are reserved. Thanks to Walter Massa, defined as “Timorasso’s father” the rebirth of this white wine typical of Colli Tortonesi is due. Wlater Massa is an independent and courageous winemaker who has not chosen to use a denomination for many of his labels because he is convinced that the wine is made in the vineyard, in the cellar, and not with brands and documents.
