La Colombera Derthona Timorasso 2024

Forward aromas of stone fruit, tart lemon/lime citrus and a hint of wet stone minerality carry over onto the vibrant, nicely-textured palate along with a hint of beeswax. - D&M TASTING NOTES

IMPORTER NOTES: 

TASTING: “Timorasso is the grape variety that best represents the hills around Tortona, as this white grape was born here. The white wine it produces is structured and elegant, capable of aging for a surprisingly long time in bottle. On the nose the young wine shows notes of white peach, honey, acacia, hawthorn blossom, and chamomile, developing smoky and mineral notes with age. The fresh acidity of the wine allows it to improve in the bottle for many years. Delicious with roasted chicken, pastas, or seafood.”

ABOUT THE PRODUCER: “The story of La Colombera is a story of farming tradition, started by great-grandfather Pietro, then Renato, then Piercarlo, now Piercarlo alongside his children Elisa and Lorenzo. Five generations of the Semino family dedicated to the soil. Since 2000 the identity of the region, the Colli Tortonesi, has become increasingly tied to the Timorasso grape, which originated in this area and which finds its best expression here.”
