2023 Oltretorrente 'Derthona' Timorasso

Oltretorrente’s Derthona is a pure expression of Timorasso from the Colli Tortonesi, the historic home of this remarkable Piedmontese white variety. Grown on calcareous limestone soils with northern exposure, it captures the grape’s naturally firm structure, mineral tension, and ability to gain depth with time.

Made from 100% Timorasso, sourced from both younger vineyards and a 20-year-old parcel, the wine is pressed as whole bunches without destemming. It then ages for around 10 months in concrete tanks, allowing texture and complexity to develop while preserving clarity, freshness, and the limestone-driven character of the site.

In the glass, it shows a bright golden-straw colour. The nose is layered and precise, with notes of citrus peel, yellow apple, acacia, dried herbs, and a subtle honeyed-mineral edge. On the palate, it is structured and savoury, with firm acidity, a broad but controlled texture, and a long, saline finish that reflects both variety and soil.

A serious and age-worthy Piedmontese white, Derthona combines the depth of Timorasso with the restraint and precision of Oltretorrente’s style.

Perfect with richer seafood dishes, poultry, veal, mushroom-based preparations, aged cheeses, and traditional Piedmontese cuisine.
