The Timorasso Derthona di La Spinetta is produced from 100% Timorasso grapes from the Montemarzino and Montegioco areas, in the province of Alessandria. The reference vineyards, facing South-West and South-East, are located on marly-calcareous, clayey and sandy soils, at an altitude between 350 and 400 meters above sea level. In the cellar, the clusters were destemmed and gently pressed to obtain the must. Alcoholic fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. The refinement was for 7 months in stainless steel in contact with the lees, plus an additional 4 months in the bottle. Timorasso is a white berry native grape variety of the Colli Tortonesi area producing particularly long-lived wines.
