In the glass, its straw-yellow hue introduces an intense aromatic profile, where clear notes of quince, almond and hazelnut emerge, enriched by distinctive \u003cstrong\u003emineral nuances of graphite\u003c\/strong\u003e and flint. The palate is soft and balanced, supported by good structure and a long-lasting finish, promising \u003cstrong\u003eremarkable evolution over time\u003c\/strong\u003e. It pairs perfectly with medium-aged cheeses and fish-based dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis expression of Timorasso grapes originates in Piedmont, in the \u003cstrong\u003eColli Tortonesi\u003c\/strong\u003e, a territory that unequivocally defines the character of Derthona. The Montalbera vineyards take root in \u003cstrong\u003eclay and limestone soils\u003c\/strong\u003e, a geological matrix that imparts a structured character and a mineral tone to the wine. The winery operates between the areas of Monferrato and the Langhe, cultivating the slopes with great attention to the different exposures. The characteristics of the land provide a \u003cstrong\u003erecognisable territorial identity\u003c\/strong\u003e, shaping a white wine of profound consistency.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe process begins with careful harvesting of the bunches at optimal ripeness to ensure the integrity of the fruit. The process continues with \u003cstrong\u003efermentation in steel tanks\u003c\/strong\u003e, an essential choice to preserve the freshness of the grape variety. The subsequent \u003cstrong\u003eageing in steel\u003c\/strong\u003e takes place without the use of barrels, allowing the wine to develop a harmonious balance of flavour and to maintain its primary aromas intact. The technical approach favours clarity and \u003cstrong\u003earomatic definition\u003c\/strong\u003e, resulting in a satisfying tasting experience that stands out for its consistency and excellent longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded at the beginning of the twentieth century between the Langhe and Monferrato, Montalbera celebrates Piedmontese tradition through \u003cstrong\u003eCalypsos Derthona Timorasso\u003c\/strong\u003e.
