La Colombera Derthona Timorasso 2024
100% Timorasso
The Timorasso grapes grow in a light and dark clayey soil. Derthona is a long-lived wine. The first years in bottle release a fruity peach fragrance, acacia and hawthorn blossoms aromas, and cotton candy as well. A powerful scent of honey also comes out. When young, mineral notes are less distinct, but bottle ageing of three/four years makes it even more appealing.

La Colombera Derthona Timorasso 2024
100% Timorasso, from several vineyards on our property, planted between 1997 and 2000. The vines are located between 270 and 300 meters (900 to 1,000 feet) above sea level. The soils include both light and dark limestone-rich clay.
Harvest takes place typically in the middle of September. The grapes are macerated in the press for three hours before pressing; the wine is then fermented with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks, and aged on the fine lees for at least 10 months before bottling. The wine is cold-stabilized and filtered. Residual sweetness is 1.2 g/L (dry), and the SO2 is 70 ppm at bottling.
Timorasso is the grape variety that best represents the hills around Tortona, as this white grape was born here. The white wine it produces is structured and elegant, capable of aging for a surprisingly long time in bottle.
On the nose the young wine shows notes of white peach, honey, acacia, hawthorn blossom, and chamomile, developing smoky and mineral notes with age. The fresh acidity of the wine allows it to improve in the bottle for many years.
Delicious with roasted chicken, pastas, or seafood.
