THE COMPANY
The Tortonese, located in south-eastern Piedmont, in the past was mainly remembered for wines from red grape varieties, but thanks in particular to the visionary genius of Walter Massa, this area has also rediscovered being a land of white wines.
The combination between this producer and the timorasso vine, then, for years is now immediate: in fact, at Walter Massa the rebirth of this ancient native variety, which has been interpreted following a new production philosophy, to the point that Walter Massa himself the name of "Father of Timorasso" is generally recognized. Thanks to his teachings, the whole denomination benefited from it, also witnessing the birth of new production companies, which in the wake of the master today give prestige and prestige to the whole area of the Tortona Hills. The story of this winemaker and his intuition start from afar, and date back to the early 80s. In 1987, there was the first production, and starting from 2000 Walter Massa began to bottle the different crus separately.
In reality, the Massa family boasts a winemaking tradition that dates back to 1879, so the "Vigneti Massa" winery is founded on solid foundations, which were built on ancient knowledge and profound practical knowledge. Currently, the vineyard hectares on which the winery can count are about twenty-seven, and among the rows besides the timorasso are also grown plants of barbera, freisa, croatina and muscat. The scenario is that of Monleale, in the province of Alessandria: it is here where they are arranged as if they were a natural amphitheater close to the town square, there are the vineyards owned by the company, from which all the labels of the winery come to life.
From the "Costa del Vento" to the "Montecitorio", from the "Derthona" to the "Monleale", passing through the red wines, are all bottles, those fruit of the genius mind of Walter Massa, born from the deepest appreciation of what is the nature of a territory that, without the same Walter Massa, would otherwise have been little known and abandoned to its fate.

Derthona by Vigneti Massa is a very territorial and expressive wine, obtained from 100% Timorasso white berried grapes. It takes its name from one of the most famous crus used for Timorasso. The least possible interventionism is practiced in the vineyard and in the cellar. White with an ample and rich bouquet, with references to acacia honey, flint, and white flowers, fleshiness and mineral puffs. Creamy and perfectly balanced between its richness and the saline component which considerably lengthens the persistence of the wine. A reference for this genre.

Derthona 'Montecitorio' by Vigneti Massa is a wine of great stature, deep and incisive white made from pure white berried grapes. Deep and very wide, where there are distinct references to hazelnut, honey, hay and flint, a typical mineral imprint deriving from the combination of vine and area. Full and sumptuous taste, with an imposing structure that expands in width but which is enlivened by a savory extension of a champion. Excellent.
