Derthona Colli Tortonesi doc Tenuta Garetto 2021

The Derthona Colli Tortonesi is the latest project by Tenuta Garetto, a winery in Agliano Terme which was acquired by the Poderi Gianni Gagliardo company in 2017. It is produced with 100% Timorasso grapes grown in the estate's vineyards in the municipality of Montemarzino and handpicked. In the glass it shows a beautiful bright straw yellow colour. In the nose, the bouquet is incisive, floral and fruity, characterized by notes of hawthorn, white peach and gooseberry. On the palate it is very fresh and extremely pleasant, characterized by a good aroma, depth and mineral finish. The Derthona by Tenuta Garetto is a lean wine, perfect to drink in combination with vegetable-based first courses, white meats, fish and cheese main courses.

The history of the winery Poderi Gianni Gagliardo derives in the distant 800, in the district of Santo Stefano Belbo with the Colla Family. Generation after generation,  Paolo Gagliardo reached La Morra, where he began to vinify the Barolo wine. In 1990 his second son Alberto joined the company and later Stefano after his studies at the Enologica school.  Finally in 2010, after completing his studies at the University of Agraria, his third and final son Paolo joined the company. In July 2017, the family acquired the Tenuta Garetto, a beautiful estate located in Agliano Terme, in the heart of the production area of Barbera d'Asti. All the wines produced come from their own vineyards and are characterized by the constant search for elegance and character.
