Derthona Timorasso 2021 Doc Colli Tortonesi - Vietti

The grapes for this signature Timorasso Vietti come from vineyards located in the municipality of Monleale, characterized by soil rich in clay and limestone. After manual harvesting, the clusters are immediately sent to fermentation, partly in ceramic, partly in wooden vats and partly in steel, for a total aging of 10 months, during which the wine remains in contact with the fine lees that have remained in suspension and that, throughout the time, are moved by frequent batonnage.

Tasting Notes.: by. yellow color intense with greenish reflections; on the nose fruity scents reminiscent of pear, peach and floral such as acacia flowers and hawthorn; there is also a characteristic note of honey. After 2/3 years, mineral notes are more noticeable, in some cases accentuated by the typical hint of hydrocarbon, which embellishes the wine. In the mouth it is dry, warm and soft, very balanced; it has no edges and in the finish a good acidity is well perceived that gives a lot of length and persistence to the palate.

Pairings: perfect with raw meat, cured meats that are not too seasoned, hot and cold appetizers, first courses even of marked savoriness and white meat preparations. After a few years in the bottle it becomes a perfect wine to pair with even aged cheeses.
