Claudio Mariotto Derthona Timorasso 2023

Grape: Timorasso
Vintage: 2023
Type: White

The Claudio Mariotto Derthona Timorasso 2023 is an authentic and mineral-driven expression of this rare Piedmontese white grape. It displays a bright straw-yellow color and an intense nose featuring notes of ripe yellow fruit, chamomile, and a striking undercurrent of flint/gunpowder minerality. The palate is dry, fresh, and remarkably structured, offering a savory, full-bodied mouthfeel with balanced acidity and a persistent finish. The vinification involves a soft and slow pressing of the grapes, followed by spontaneous, temperature-controlled fermentation. Crucially, the wine is aged for one year on its noble lees (*sur lie*) in stainless steel tanks before resting for at least six months in the bottle, a process that builds its characteristic complexity, structure, and aging potential.
