Derthona Timorasso Colli Tortonesi DOC 2023 Castrum Roche
The Derthona Timorasso 2023 by Castrum Roche is an authentic and refined expression of one of the most emblematic grape varieties of Piemonte, Timorasso. Originating from the Colli Tortonesi, a historic area for the cultivation of this native variety, this wine captivates with its complexity and the finesse of its aromatic notes.
The name Derthona recalls the tradition of Tortona, an ancient Roman city where this grape variety was born, which is now experiencing a new season of rediscovery. Timorasso is known for its ability to produce structured wines with pronounced freshness, as well as for its great aging potential.
The Derthona Timorasso Colli Tortonesi DOC 2023 stands out for its bright straw-yellow color, with golden reflections. On the nose, it offers a complex range of aromas, from ripe fruit like golden apple and peach to delicate floral notes of white flowers. A mineral undertone, reminiscent of the origin's terroir, adds richness and depth to the wine.
On the palate, the wine is fresh and well-balanced, with good structure and a savory quality that makes it particularly intriguing. The minerality, with a light flint-like note, is accompanied by a gentle persistence that invites the next sip. The finish is elegant, with a lingering aftertaste of citrus and almond.
Ideal with seafood dishes, risottos, and fresh or aged cheeses, Derthona Timorasso by Castrum Roche perfectly reflects the essence of the region and the winery’s expertise, which enhances this historic grape with a modern and thoughtful approach.
