This “Derthona” Boveri is a pure Timorasso, an indigenous grape from the Tortona area that has seen a remarkable revival in Piemonte viticulture over the last 10 years. The winery cultivates this varietal using the guyot system, in plots located about 250 meters above sea level. We find ourselves in an area whose subsoil is mainly composed of marls and limestone. The grapes obtained from the destemming of the bunches are gently pressed, and then a static decantation of the must obtained precedes fermentation; the latter then takes place in steel tanks at a controlled temperature between 18 and 20 degrees. The wine then rests for 12 months on the fine lees in steel

The Timorasso “Derthona” Boveri flows in the glass with a typically straw-yellow color, possessing a pleasant light, brilliant to the eye. The olfactory spectrum highlights an entry of notes consisting of references to white-fleshed fruit, from which a delicate hint of more mineral aromas emerges. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, with a sip that has a nice breadth, characterized by a fresh and savory taste. It is recommended to pair it with savory pies, cheese risottos, and second courses based on fish accompanied by tasty sauces!
