Vigneti Massa Derthona 2024 Timorasso

Vigneti Massa – Derthona 2024 Timorasso

The Derthona 2024 is the flagship creation of Vigneti Massa and its charismatic winemaker Walter Massa, the pioneer who single-handedly rescued Timorasso from obscurity. Made from 100% Timorasso grapes grown on the slopes of Colli Tortonesi, this wine defies standard white wine expectations, offering a powerful, mineral-driven experience with aging potential that rivals the world's finest white wines.

Tasting Notes

• Appearance: Intense, luminous straw yellow with warm golden highlights.
• Nose: Rich and multifaceted aromatic profile featuring ripe yellow peach, medlar, wild aromatic herbs (thyme and sage), acacia honey, and a distinctive flinty minerality that deepens with bottle age.
• Palate: Full, dense, and textured on the palate, perfectly balanced by vibrant acidity and a strong saline minerality that harmonizes its generous structure, finishing long, persistent, and deep.

Food Pairings

Thanks to its extraordinary power and complexity, Derthona excels alongside substantial seafood and meat dishes alike:

• Rich pasta dishes featuring white or black truffles, porcini mushroom risottos, and stuffed pasta.
• Baked structured fish, seafood stews, grilled shellfish, and salt cod.
• Roasted white meats, Vitello Tonnato, noble poultry, and aged mountain cheeses (such as local Montébore).
