2023 La Spinetta Colli Tortonesi Timorasso "Derthona", Piedmont, Italy
ABOUT THE WINE
Hailing from the rolling hills of Colli Tortonesi in southeastern Piedmont, this wine is crafted from 100% Timorasso—a historic variety revived for its structure and aging potential. The 2023 vintage reveals notes of quince, apricot, lemon peel, and subtle almond, supported by a firm mineral backbone and refreshing acidity.
Grapes are carefully harvested from hillside vineyards planted on calcareous clay soils that contribute to the wine’s tension and complexity. Fermentation typically occurs in stainless steel to preserve aromatic clarity, followed by extended lees aging to build texture and dimension. The result is a white wine that balances richness with precision and can evolve beautifully over time.
Complex and food-friendly, “Derthona” pairs elegantly with seafood risotto, roasted poultry, grilled prawns, truffle dishes, and aged cheeses. Its structure and minerality allow it to complement both delicate and richly flavored cuisine.
