Timorasso Derthona 2022 (750 ml.) Vigneti Massa
The Derthona by Vigneti Massa is a very territorial and expressive wine, made from pure white grape Timorasso. It takes its name from one of the most famous crus dedicated to Timorasso. In the vineyard and in the winery, minimal intervention is practiced. A white wine with a wide and rich bouquet, with hints of acacia honey, flint, and white flowers, fleshiness, and mineral puffs. Creamy and perfectly balanced between its richness and the saline component that significantly extends the wine's persistence. A benchmark for this type.

Vigneti Massa
In the heart of the Colli Tortonesi, a land of gentle hills and centuries-old traditions, lies the winery Vigneti Massa. This corner of Piedmont has witnessed a silent revolution, orchestrated by Walter Massa, a pioneer who rediscovered and enhanced a long-forgotten grape variety: Timorasso. Thanks to his vision and commitment, Vigneti Massa has not only revived the Timorasso but also helped to rejuvenate the entire Colli Tortonesi region on the international wine scene.
The winery embraces a production philosophy that combines respect for tradition and innovation. Here, the vineyards are meticulously cared for, allowing indigenous varieties such as Timorasso and Barbera to express themselves at their best, in a unique and fascinating terroir. The flagship of the production is undoubtedly the Derthona Timorasso, a wine that embodies the rebirth of this grape variety and is distinguished by its longevity and minerality. These wines, capable of aging gracefully, unleash complex and deep aromas that tell the story and identity of the Colli Tortonesi.

THE WINE
The Derthona from Vigneti Massa is a very territorial and expressive wine, made from pure white grapes of Timorasso. It takes its name from one of the most famous crus designated for Timorasso. In the vineyard and in the winery, minimal intervention is practiced. A white wine with a broad and rich bouquet, with hints of acacia honey, flint, and white flowers, fleshiness, and mineral puffs. Creamy and perfectly balanced between its richness and the saline component that significantly extends the wine's persistence. A benchmark for this genre.
THE COMPANY
The Tortonese area, located in the south-eastern Piedmont, was once primarily known for its red wine grapes, but thanks in particular to the visionary genius of Walter Massa, this region has rediscovered itself as a land for whites.
The combination of this producer and the Timorasso grape has become almost immediate over the years: Walter Massa is indeed credited with the revival of this ancient indigenous variety, which has been interpreted following a new production philosophy, to the point that Walter Massa is generally recognized as the "Father of Timorasso." Thanks to his teachings, the entire denomination has benefited, witnessing the birth of new production realities that, following in the master's footsteps, today bring luster and prestige to the entire Colli Tortonesi area. The history of this winemaker and his intuition dates back to the early '80s. In 1987, the first production took place, and starting from 2000 Walter Massa began to bottle the different crus separately.
In fact, the Massa family boasts a winemaking tradition that dates back precisely to 1879, so the winery "Vigneti Massa" is built on solid foundations, which have been constructed on ancient knowledge and profound practical expertise. Currently, the vineyard area that the winery can count on is about twenty-seven hectares, and among the rows, in addition to Timorasso, there are also plants of Barbera, Freisa, Croatina, and Moscato. The setting is Monleale, in the province of Alessandria: it is here, arranged like a natural amphitheater near the town square, that the company-owned vineyards are located, from which all the labels of the winery originate.
From “Costa del Vento” to “Montecitorio,” from “Derthona” to “Monleale,” including the red wines, all these bottles, the result of the brilliant mind of Walter Massa, are born from the deepest enhancement of the nature of a territory that, without Walter Massa, would otherwise have been little known and left to its fate.
