Production
Viberti Giovanni, a family-owned winery established in the early 20th century in Piedmont’s Langhe region, is renowned for its dedication to traditional winemaking. The ‘Derthona’ Timorasso is a distinctive expression of the Timorasso grape, reflecting the estate’s commitment to showcasing the unique characteristics of this varietal. The wine is crafted from hand-harvested Timorasso grapes, which undergo fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve their fresh fruit aromas. Following fermentation, the wine is aged on fine lees for several months to enhance its complexity and mouthfeel. This approach maintains the wine’s vibrant acidity and fruit-forward profile, making it an approachable and enjoyable expression of the Derthona terroir.
Tasting notes
Viberti ‘Derthona’ Timorasso presents an intense yellow color with a tinge of green. Aromas of acacia flowers and ripe fruit are prominent on the nose. On the palate, it exhibits high acidity and strong minerality, with an almost savory and defined finish. Derthona has tremendous aging potential.
