Derthona Timorasso 2019

Walter Massa | Piedmont
Massa F.lli | Piazza G. Capsoni 10 | IT 15059 Monleale

The best parcels around Monleale, from which the grapes for Derthona Timorasso come, cover just 11 hectares. They are located in the Appenine and pre-Appenine hills of the Marca Obertenga, the soils contain mainly marl and clayey layers.

In the deep bouquet, green and yellow fruit notes, orange confit, graphite, mint and a hint of camomile. In the drink, it marches straightforwardly with that certain exotic something, its pleasantly fresh acidity and fine tannin into a long finish with an attractive bitterness of citrus peel reminiscent of chinotto and a mineral vein. The 12 months of contact during fermentation in stainless steel on the lees ensures that it gains depth and complexity with each year of further bottle ageing. The "entry-level wine" from Timorasso mastermind Walter Massa impressively confirms the level at which the entire collection is moving. SUPERIORE.DE

"Lovely stone fruits, quince, a touch of yeasty-lees, and yellow fruit with great freshness and minerality with a touch of bitterness." Decanter
