Derthona Vino Bianco Vigneti Massa 2021

The Derthona by Vigneti Massa winery is an excellent white wine that has contributed to make the Timorasso variety famous all over the world. It is produced with Timorasso grapes and it is vinified exclusively in steel tanks; it has a straw-yellow color with golden reflexes. The nose is floral and fruity with mineral notes. In the mouth you can perceive the typical and expressive characteristics of Timorasso grapes: power, structure, complex minerality and freshness. Thanks to the persistent after-taste, we recommend it as drink with cold cuts and cheese. The Derthona by Vingeti Massa is also excellent with 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.
