La Spinetta Colli Tortonesi Timorasso Derthona 2024 La Spinetta Derthona Timorasso Colli Tortonesi is a distinguished white wine made from the ancient, indigenous Timorasso grape, which was nearly extinct before its recent revival in southeast Piedmont. The 2024 vintage, often referred to as "Piccolo Derthona," is celebrated for its elegance and delicate profile, offering a bouquet of lemon confit, white flowers, almond, and light tropical notes. On the palate, it is crisp and full-bodied with a saline minerality and savory finish that reflects its unique calcareous and clayey marl soils. Unlike many white wines, Timorasso is known for its remarkable structure and "petrol" aging potential similar to dry German Riesling, though the 2024 is approachable now for its vibrant acidity and stone fruit flavors.
A layered wine with a floral edge and vibrant, complex orange peel and orange blossom aromas that are polished and slightly minerally. Sharp and silky on the palate, with a medium body and floral, saline flavors. Cleansing yet precise.
