The nose is expressive and layered, offering golden delicious apple, kiwi, lemon candy, gentle smoky notes, and delicate floral and mineral accents.\n\nOn the palate, the wine is bright and citrus-driven, with a lively, savory edge that adds tension and character. The finish is relaxed yet persistent, echoing the aromatic profile and leaving a clean, satisfying impression. Thanks to its structure and depth, it should also develop beautifully with a few years in bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMade from 100% Timorasso grown in Piedmont, this wine reflects the grape’s strong regional identity and the careful work that has made Derthona a benchmark style.
