2019 Borgogno 'Derthona' Timorasso

in 1761 Bartolomeo Borgogno establishes the winery.

"Being slow in one’s actions means having the time to understand things better and do them the right way. Having the privilege to stop, slow down and question ourselves. Time is the secret ingredient, the most precious one, which cannot be bought, an integral part of the craft and farming world. Nature itself teaches us how important it is to give time to time, without haste. This is what we do, in our vineyards and with our wines, since 1761."

Intense yellow, very clear and consistent. It is intense and complex on the nose: in the early years there are fruity smells reminiscent of pear, peach and floreal smells such as acacia flowers and hawthorn and mineral notes. The honey note is very typical of this wine. In the mouth, the Derthona is a dry, warm and sof wine with a good match between high levels of alcohol and high content in organic acids. It has no edges but the texture is balanced and very persistent.

Following a manual harvest of timorasso grapes in our vineyards In Monleale e Colli Tortonesi, a cold maceration in steel tanks of 3 days takes place followed by a static decantation always in steel and subsequent spontaneous fermentation in concrete tanks at 17° C temperature for 25 days. Refinement in steel for 10 months and then 7 months of refinement in the bottle
