Vigneti Massa "Sterpi" 2023 Derthona

A white wine from Vigneti Massa, made from Timorasso grapes grown in a single vineyard. The name recalls that the land was once covered only in scrub before vines were planted there. It is released no earlier than two years after the harvest, and it has earned a reputation as one of the finest white wines of Piedmont. Young, it shows floral acacia, fruit and citrus on the nose; with age it can move towards hydrocarbon, overripe fruit and honey. The palate is built on freshness, sapidity and minerality, with warmth that stays in balance, a weighty texture and a very long finish.
