DERTHONA 'COSTA DEL VENTO' VIGNETI MASSA 2021 DESCRIPTION

Derthona 'Costa del Vento', produced by Vigneti Massa, is one of the best creations of Walter Massa, who has been able to make the most of the winemaking tradition of the Colli Tortonesi area. The rediscovery of the indigenous white grape variety Timorasso is mainly due to his tenacity and commitment. The label is part of the winery's high-end line of wines, which expresses the peculiarities of the winery's best crus, highlighting their particular expressive nuances. It is an intense white, elegant and deep, offering a complex and very persistent sip, so much so that it is one of the most interesting wines of our wine heritage.

'Costa del Vento' is an excellent Derthona, which confirms the quality of the wines offered by the Vigneti Massa estate. The winery is the classic family-run business that has been present in the Colli Tortonesi area since the end of the 19th century. Today, the property covers 23 hectares, with vineyards cultivated on sunny and mild hillside exposures in lower Piedmont. Most of the vineyards are planted with Timorasso, which is the true ambassador of this terroir, but there are also some plots dedicated to red varieties typical of the area, especially Barbera and Croatina. The wine comes from a plot with a sunny south-west exposure, located at an altitude of 300 metres above sea level. The grapes undergo cold maceration for about 40 hours before being softly pressed. The flower must ferments spontaneously in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. The wine matures for 12 months in stainless steel tanks on the fine lees with periodic bâtonnage and completes its ageing with a few months in the bottle before release.

Vigneti Massa's Timorasso Derthona 'Costa del Vento' is a white wine that possesses considerable personality. Although already pleasant to drink immediately, it needs a few years of bottle ageing to reach full maturity and express all its fascinating aromatic complexity. In the glass it has a beautiful, bright, light yellow colour. The olfactory profile is intense and elegant, with notes of medicinal herbs, balsamic and resinous sensations, floral nuances and aromas of peach and ripe fruit, enhanced by a delicately spicy touch. With a good structure and aromatic richness, it has a complex and deep sip of great aromatic persistence, supported by a clear mineral freshness, savoury and vibrant.
