White
Derthona
By Pio Cesare, Barolo, Piemonte, Italy
A Colli Tortonesi Timorasso Riserva from the family's own vineyards at Vho, in the municipality of Tortona, first presented with the 2023 vintage. About 1 year in steel and about 2 years in bottle before release.
Tasting notes
The full south exposure and calcareous-marly soil give the wine great minerality, structure and longevity, balanced by refined complexity and aromatic expressiveness thanks to the careful choice of early picking and the medium-large size of the berries. It shows a very long ageing capacity, bringing out over time mineral notes of flint and hydrocarbons.
