Vietti Piccolo Derthona

A fresh Timorasso from the estate's youngest vines in Vho and Monleale.

Tasting notes

Clear, straw yellow with greenish reflections. Fresh, floral and citrus bouquet on the nose. Dry, taut and savoury on the palate, medium-bodied, with marked acidity and great balance. The producer calls it the freshest, most immediate and lowest-alcohol Timorasso of its Colli Tortonesi production.
