Vietti Derthona Timorasso Colli Tortonesi 2023

Derthona is almost like a brand name for the finest Timorasso wines. Originally created by Walter Massa and his circle of friends, which includes Vietti and Roagna, all three of whom are among the top producers of Timorasso. A small portion of the grapes, around five percent, was left on the skins for ten days. This contributes to the fantastic structure of this wine. It was aged for ten months on the lees, partly in ceramic vessels and partly in a large 2,500-liter wooden barrel. Ceramic, unlike steel, allows for micro-oxidation, making it essentially a barrique without any wood influence.
