Derthona Vino Bianco Vigneti Massa 2018

Derthona by Vigneti Massa Winery is an excellent white wine that has contributed to make famous the Timorasso, autochthonous grape of the Colli Tortonesi, all over the world. It is vinified exclusively in steel; it has a straw-yellow color with golden reflexes. The nose is floral and fruity with mineral notes. In mouth the typical and more expressive characteristics of the Timorasso grapes emerge: power, structure, complex minerality and freshness. With a long and persistent ending, it is perfect to drink as an aperitif, accompanied by cured meats and cheeses. It is also excellent 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.
