White
Derthona
By Francesco Iandolo, Colli Tortonesi, Piemonte, Italy
The estate's only wine, a 100% Timorasso from the Cà dell'Aglio vineyard in Brignano Frascata, made in stainless steel only. It ages about a year on its lees and a year in bottle before release.
Tasting notes
Straw-yellow with slight golden reflections. Intense and complex nose, with mineral and hydrocarbon notes that tend to become more marked with age. Tasty and structured on the palate, with a pleasant enveloping texture and the fresh acidity typical of the grape.
