Timorasso Derthona 2023

Description

Still white wine from Piedmont, 13.5% ABV, produced by Vietti. A Derthona made from Timorasso grapes, a native grape variety that best expresses the characteristics of the terroir. Fermentation, lasting approximately four weeks, takes place partly in ceramic, partly in wooden vats, and partly in stainless steel. Malolactic fermentation is not performed. Aged for a total of 10 months in ceramic, wooden vats, and stainless steel, in contact with the fine lees, kept in suspension with repeated batonnage. On the nose, fruity aromas reminiscent of pear and peach, along with floral notes of acacia blossom and hawthorn, along with a distinctive honey note. On the palate, it is dry, warm, and smooth, very balanced; it has no sharp edges, and the finish offers a distinct acidity that lends great length and persistence to the palate.
