Claudio Mariotto – Derthona Colli Tortonesi Timorasso DOC
A great Piedmontese white wine from a native grape: Claudio Mariotto's Derthona Timorasso is a structured, minerally, and elegant wine, capable of evolving over time.
Derthona Colli Tortonesi DOC is one of the most prestigious expressions of Timorasso , an ancient native Piedmontese grape rediscovered in recent decades and now considered one of Italy's great white wines for aging. This wine originates in the Tortonesi Hills , in southeastern Piedmont, a region characterized by calcareous-clay soils that give the wines structure, minerality, and longevity.
The Claudio Mariotto winery is one of the leading producers in the appellation and has contributed to the development of Timorasso. Vinification involves soft pressing of the grapes and temperature-controlled fermentation to preserve the varietal aromas.
The wine then ages on its fine lees in stainless steel for several months, acquiring aromatic complexity and flavorful depth. The result is an elegant, intense, and persistent white wine, ideal for drinking young or for ageing in the bottle.
