TASTING NOTES

AROMA

On the nose, there are notes of yellow fruit and white acacia and camomile flowers, as well as subtle tropical hints.

PALATE

Submerged-cap maceration adds complexity and structure on the palate, while preserving the wine’s distinctive acidity, minerality and aromatic crispness.

REGION NOTES

Berzano di Tortona, Alessandria. Grapes from 15-year-old, east-facing vineyards.

WINEMAKERS COMMENTS

Elena has always been fascinated by the Colli Tortonesi (Tortona Hills) area and the potential and versatility of Timorasso grapes. She has invested a great deal in promoting Timorasso in recent years, so it simply had to be one of the cornerstones of our new initiative.

CELLARING POTENTIAL

Timorasso is a white wine that is naturally suited to a long period of ageing. It should be opened in advance and served in a decanter at a temperature no lower than 16°C in order to bring out its complexity, especially during the first five years.

VINIFICATION

Indigenous yeast is used in the 32-day fermentation process, which is carried out primarily through skin infusion using an innovative, unconventional submerged-cap system designed to achieve optimal extraction while preserving fresh, citrus-driven notes and avoiding oxidative tones. The wine is left on the lees in Clayver ceramic vessels and stainless steel – with a small portion also going into acacia casks – until bottling. Malolactic fermentation does not take place. The winemaking method gives rise to a polished, complex wine with strong ties to the terroir.
