Description
What type of wine it is
Timorasso Francesca by Vigne Marina Coppi is an organic white wine that expresses the authentic character of the Timorasso grape variety in the Colli Tortonesi denomination in Piedmont, obtained from a manual harvest. In the glass, it presents with a straw-yellow colour enriched by bright golden-green highlights. The aromatic profile opens with hints of lily of the valley, gooseberry, citron zest and wild herbs, closing with a clear mineral imprint reminiscent of river stones. The tasting is soft and harmonious, guided by a lively fruity freshness and a strong savoury progression that culminates in a persistent citrusy finish.
Where it comes from
The origin of this wine is in Piedmont, on the hills of the Colli Tortonesi. The Vigne Marina Coppi estate artisanally manages a small area of just four hectares of owned vineyards. This limited size allows for meticulous care of the plants, guaranteeing a limited annual production carefully supervised by the oenologist Gianfranco Cordero. The influence of the particular microclimate and the hilly soils is directly reflected in the glass, giving the sip its characteristic savoury tension and a clear floral and herbaceous tone.
How it is produced
The production process begins with a selective manual harvest, an essential step to keep the original quality and freshness of the clusters intact. The cellar processes aim for maximum aromatic clarity, balancing structural softness with the natural vigour of Timorasso. This scrupulous approach delivers a white wine with remarkable evolutionary potential over time.

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.
