Description
What kind of wine it is
Timorasso Francesca is a still white wine that expresses the authenticity of the Timorasso grape variety. In the glass, it appears straw yellow in colour with bright gold-green highlights. The bouquet opens with notes of lily of the valley, blended with hints of gooseberry, citron peel, wild herbs and evocations of river stones. On the palate, it offers a soft and harmonious taste, led by lively fruity freshness that culminates in a citrusy finish. At the table, it proves ideal for accompanying lean fish dishes, trofie with pesto and cheeses.
Where it comes from
This white wine originates in Piedmont, within the Colli Tortonesi denomination. Production is overseen by Vigne Marina Coppi, an artisan winery that works exclusively with its own vineyards. The small size of just four hectares allows for meticulous care of the vines, with a limited annual production supervised by oenologist Gianfranco Cordero. The unique features of these hills give the wine a floral and herbaceous bouquet in the glass, combined with a pronounced mineral character on the palate.
How it is produced
The production of the wine begins with a selective manual harvest, essential for preserving the integrity and freshness of the fruit. The winemaking process aims to maintain aromatic clarity, balancing structural softness with the savoury progression typical of the variety. This care results in a white wine capable of evolving positively over time. To fully appreciate its nuances, it is recommended to serve at a temperature between 12 and 14°C.
History and Curiosities
The Timorasso Francesca 2024 from Vigne Marina Coppi highlights the elegance of a noble native Piedmontese grape variety. Produced in the Colli Tortonesi DOC by a small artisanal winery established in 2003, this still white wine expresses an authentic connection with the land. The grapes come from just four hectares of estate-owned vineyards and are harvested through meticulous manual picking to preserve the highest quality. With an annual production of around 25,000 bottles and the oenological supervision of Gianfranco Cordero, the wine embodies all the dedication of the family.

Gli incontri con gli anziani del paese e l’amore per questa terra faranno scoccare la scintilla.
La superficie vitata è di pochi ettari, quelli di una piccola realtà familiare, e consente la coltivazione diretta delle uve puntando essenzialmente alla qualità. Il legame con la tradizione ha determinato la scelta dei vitigni per dare importanza all’unicità dei vini.
Il Timorasso, con la sua storia radicata in queste terre a partire dal medioevo, è la varietà d’uva a bacca bianca che più rappresenta quest’angolo di Piemonte. La Barbera, indiscussa regina tra le uve a bacca nera, è da sempre presente nel Tortonese. I vini sono la sintesi tra moderne tecniche di vinificazione e la cura e la competenza che solo chi ama e da sempre conosce queste vigne può dare.
La produzione si può definire "artigianale" e si aggira intorno alle 25 mila bottiglie l’anno.
Questo permette di seguire direttamente e con estrema cura ogni fase del lavoro di cantina, per ottenere vini che esprimono la personalità dell’uomo e la forza della terra.
