Fontanafredda Derthona Timorasso 2022

Fontanafredda Derthona Timorasso 2022 is a refined expression of one of Piedmont’s most distinctive white grape varieties. Made from the historic Timorasso of the Tortona hills, it combines pronounced minerality with elegant floral character, bringing a once-nearly forgotten variety back into the spotlight under its traditional name, Derthona.

Tasting Notes
Bright and inviting in the glass, this white wine opens with delicate floral aromas and a fresh, mineral-driven character. Notes of white flowers are complemented by impressions of citrus, orchard fruit and stony minerality. On the palate, it is balanced and refined, with an elegant texture, lively freshness and impressive depth for a white wine. The mineral profile provides structure and persistence, while the floral charm adds finesse. Timorasso is known for developing greater complexity with age, and this 2022 vintage can be enjoyed now or cellared for several years.

Production
Timorasso has its historical roots in the Tortona hills, where the variety is particularly valued for its mineral expression and aging ability. Derthona is the traditional name associated with wines from this area, recalling the ancient Roman name for Tortona. The grapes are carefully transformed to preserve the variety’s aromatic purity, freshness and characteristic mineral profile, resulting in a white wine that balances power with elegance.

Food & Serving
Serve Fontanafredda Derthona Timorasso lightly chilled, at approximately 10–12°C. Its freshness and mineral character make it an excellent partner for seafood, shellfish, grilled fish, risotto, fresh pasta with delicate sauces and poultry. It can be enjoyed immediately, although decanting is not essential; allowing the wine to breathe briefly in the glass will help reveal its floral and mineral nuances.
