The Derthona Vigneti Massa is an iconic and representative white, produced by what is the true pioneer of Timorasso in Italy. There are not many cases where the idea of a grape variety coincides almost entirely with a winemaker, and when this happens, it means you are dealing with a true flagbearer, capable of revaluing and revitalizing a territory, just like in the case of Walter Massa with Timorasso and the Colli Tortonesi. A showman and a deep connoisseur of vineyard and territory, Walter took the reins of the family winery in the 1970s, deciding to make a radical change to local viticulture, favoring local varieties, limiting yields, and minimizing treatments in the vineyard, but above all sensing the enormous potential of Timorasso and elevating it to the local prince of white grape varieties. The wines, which range from deep and territorial reds to long-lasting whites, are true pieces of Italian wine history, indispensable in the cellar of every enthusiast.

The wine Derthona takes its name from one of the most famous crus dedicated to Timorasso, and Walter's wine is precisely a pure expression of the eponymous grape variety.dedicated to Timorasso, and Walter's wine is truly a pure expression of the homonymous grape variety. In the vineyard, as previously mentioned, minimal intervention is practiced, and in the cellar, the process is consistent, with spontaneous alcoholic fermentations and aging of the liquid on fine lees.

Derthona Vigneti Massa presents itself in the glass with a medium intensity straw-yellow color. The nose is broad and rich, where clear hints of acacia honey, flint, and white flowers stand out, creating a profile that intertwines fleshiness and mineral puffs. The sip is filling and has a creamy texture, perfectly balanced between its material richness and the saline component that significantly extends the wine's persistence. Undisputed flag.
