A faithful expression of the territory, it is distinguished by a dry, fresh, and precise style, characterised by a marked savouriness and \u003cstrong\u003eevident minerality\u003c\/strong\u003e, perfectly balanced by a pronounced acidity and a medium body. The aromatic profile opens with fragrant notes of pear and white peach, followed by hints of acacia flowers and hawthorn. On the palate, lively citrus nuances blend with a clean savouriness, ensuring a long and satisfying finish that makes this white \u003cstrong\u003eversatile in food pairings\u003c\/strong\u003e with risottos, shellfish, and white meats.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis white is born in Piedmont, within the \u003cstrong\u003eColli Tortonesi\u003c\/strong\u003e territory, in that area historically linked to Derthona, the ancient name of Tortona. The youngest vines are cultivated in the municipalities of Vho and Monleale, benefiting from south-east and south-west exposures that ensure regular ripening and excellent aromatic definition. The vineyards are rooted in \u003cstrong\u003eclay-limestone soils\u003c\/strong\u003e, a geological matrix that gives the wine tension and a distinctive sensation of saltiness. This area is the preferred home of \u003cstrong\u003eTimorasso\u003c\/strong\u003e, an indigenous grape variety recovered with dedication that today represents an \u003cstrong\u003eessential component of the local oenological identity\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction begins with a \u003cstrong\u003emanual harvest\u003c\/strong\u003e, organised to pick the bunches at the moment of perfect ripeness. Alcoholic fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature for approximately four weeks, without skin maceration, using a combination of stainless steel, wooden barrels, and ceramic containers. At the end of fermentation, the wine ages for about four months on the \u003cstrong\u003efine lees\u003c\/strong\u003e in the same vessels. This delicate contact with the yeasts enriches the harmony and texture of the sip, without compromising its verticality. The absence of \u003cstrong\u003emalolactic fermentation\u003c\/strong\u003e finally preserves a drinking experience focused on freshness and clean taste.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and interesting facts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe name Derthona harks back to the ancient medieval toponym of the city of Tortona. Timorasso is a historic grape variety that was at risk of disappearing, saved thanks to the dedication of local winemakers who have made it one of the great Italian white wines. Among the interesting features of this bottle, the elegant label with a botanical illustration stands out, enhanced by a distinctive green and white chequered capsule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vietti","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47323958608043,"sku":"62065","price":17.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/vietti-piccolo-derthona-2025_62065_1_8b5edc5b-1922-4a58-a615-fdbd0e9b3334.webp?v=1786025412","url":"https:\/\/www.xtrawine.com\/products\/vietti-piccolo-derthona-2025","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
