Timorasso 'Derthona' La Colombera 2025
The Timorasso "Derthona" from La Colombera is a fresh and complex white wine, with a wide aromatic articulation, aged for 9 months on fine lees in steel. Aromas of yellow fruit, flowers, and honey, and a dry, warm, and soft sip elegantly express the territory of the Colli Tortonesi
The Timorasso Derthona produced by La Colombera reflects the commitment made in recent years by some of the most important winemakers of the DOC Colli Tortonesi to rediscover the joys of this native grape variety, which has long populated this area with a strong winemaking vocation.
Since 2000, after a significant company restructuring, La Colombera has decided to focus on Timorasso, self-imposing strict rules in the vineyard and cellar, in order to obtain top-quality labels, respecting natural balances: the grapes from each single vineyard are vinified separately, while all the wines produced represent only and exclusively particularly suited vineyards, with a minimum age of twenty-five years, in order to extract fruits with great aromatic complexity.
Obtained through a slow fermentation and subsequent aging on noble lees, the Timorasso Derthona produced by La Colombera shows in its early years of life a complex aromatic bouquet, which indulges in fruity and floral tones, while its strong structure supports its good alcohol content. But it is in aging that Timorasso reveals all its mineral power and the typical hydrocarbon notes that characterize the grape variety.
To the numerous visitors of the company, owner Elisa Semino advises to forget, without fear, a few bottles in the cellar and to taste it after a few years: a good opportunity to discover the great evolutionary journey that this great Piedmontese white undergoes!
