Derthona Colli Tortonesi DOC 2022 Vietti: The Essence of Timorasso in a Glass

The Derthona Colli Tortonesi DOC 2022 by Vietti is an extraordinary white wine, capable of best representing the elegance and complexity of Timorasso, an indigenous Piedmont vine. Produced with grapes harvested in vineyards located in the municipality of Monleale, with south-east and south-west exposures, this wine expresses the unique characteristics of the limestone-clay terroir from which it originates. A white which, thanks to skilful vinification and long contact with the fine lees, proves fresh, enveloping and capable of evolving positively over time.

In the glass, Derthona 2022 has an intense yellow color with greenish reflections, while on the nose it shows off an aromatic bouquet rich in fruity hints reminiscent of pear and peach, together with delicate floral aromas of acacia and hawthorn. As the years pass, this wine develops intriguing mineral notes and hydrocarbon nuances that enrich its complexity. On the palate, Derthona is dry, warm and soft, perfectly balanced, with good acidity that gives length and persistence to the sip.

A versatile white that lends itself to multiple gastronomic combinations, ideal for accompanying fish-based dishes, white meats and fresh cheeses, or to be appreciated on its own as a meditation wine.
