Derthona Monlià Oddero 2019

The Derthona Monlià of Oddero is a white wine produced with 100% of Timorasso grapes, that is an ancient autochthonous vine of Piedmont. It was born from the project "Monlià" between the family Oddero and the owners of a famous tavern in La Morra: it is a new farm with 1.45 hectares of land in Monleale, in the heart of the Alessandria region. The Derthona Monlià in the glass shows a beautiful intense straw yellow color, while in the nose it is fruity with hints of peach and pear, with a slight hint of honey on the finish. In the mouth it is intense, soft and characterized by good acidity and persistence. The Derthona Monlià of Oddero is perfect to drink in combination with the classic raw meat by knife, agnolotti with butter and sage, vegetables omelettes or goat cheese.

All along Oddero family is owner of vineyards, so it is very difficult to establish a precise beginning of the wine making process. Lorenzo and Luigi started to produce wine at the end of 800, starting from their vineyards of La Morra. Giacomo Oddero, grandfather of the present manager of this cave, took part of the International Exposition of Torino in 1991, where he proposed his Barolo wine. Presently the winery is carried on by Mariacristina and Mariavittoria, who have inherited by their father the cult of wine and its origins.
