Vietti Timorasso Derthona 2020

Country: Italy

Region: Piedmont

Type: White Wine

Grape: Timorasso

2018 was the first vintage ever for Vietti to produce a Timorasso. The grapes are selected from different vineyards located in Monleale (Alessandria Province), with a south-east and south-west exposure and a clay-limestone soil. Fermentation lasts 4 weeks and occurs  partly in ceramic and partly in wooden and stainless steel casks. It does not undergo malolactic fermentation. The wine spends 10 months in ceramic, wooden and stainless steel casks, on fine lees maintained in suspension with batonnage.

Clear, intense yellow color with green hues. Aromas of pear and peach, acacia and hawthorn flowers with honey notes. On the palate it is dry, warm, soft and very well balanced. It has a long lingering finish with good acidity and minerality.
