Tasting notes
Intense straw yellow. The nose shows Mediterranean herbs, elderflower, hawthorn and ripe orchard fruit. The palate is crunchy, saline and mineral, with a firm structure and a long, persistent finish.
About this wine
Alongside their Gavi, the Broglia family works with Timorasso, the ancient white grape of the hills around Tortona, whose wines carry the historic name Derthona. The vines grow on south-facing limestone slopes at 300-350 metres in the Colli Tortonesi.
The wine is made only in small stainless-steel tanks and rests on its lees for at least 18 months before bottling, preserving the grape's pure mineral character and serious structure.
Crunchy, saline and long, it shows why Timorasso is considered one of Piedmont's great white grapes.
