This wine clearly focuses on a single grape variety, namely Timorasso. Only the best grape material was used for this exceptionally well-balanced varietal wine from Vigneti Massa. In Piedmont, the vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow on limestone soils. After harvesting, the grapes are brought to the press house as quickly as possible. There they are selected and gently crushed. Fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. After fermentation is complete, the Piccolo Derthona Terra can continue to harmonize on the fine lees for 6 months.
