Timorasso


Timorasso is one of the most exciting Italian autochthonous grape varieties to surface in recent years, from the Colli Tortonesiwine region in south east Piemonte, not far from Gavi in fact.

This ancient variety was brought from the brink of extinction during the '70/80s by the march of multinationals and their preference for facile Chardonnay, Merlot & Barbera. Local boy Walter Massa led the fight to revive this distinguished grape variety during the '80s/90s.

The style of Timorasso white wines resemble a mix of Chablis & Savennieres on account of high acidity, rich extract and propensity to develop noble rot, all grounded by calcareous soil. Neighbouring estates such as La Colombera have also seen the light and are now focusing their efforts more & more on this fine variety.
