Voerzio Martini - Derthona

Voerzio Martini Derthona is a sophisticated white wine produced in the Colli Tortonesi region of Piedmont, Italy. The winery is led by the 'Barolo twins', Mirko and Federica Martini, who continue the terroir-driven traditions of the Gianni Voerzio estate in La Morra. Their winemaking philosophy focuses on careful vineyard management and a deep respect for the environment, balancing traditional knowledge with innovative techniques to create wines that highlight the unique characteristics of the soil.

Wine Description

Crafted from 100% Timorasso, an ancient grape variety native to the hills of Tortona, this wine displays an intense straw yellow colour. The aromatic profile is rich and complex, featuring notes of peach, pear, and acacia flowers with a distinct hint of honey. On the palate, the wine is warm, soft, and well structured, delivering a full bodied experience with mineral undertones and a saline finish. It is often compared to Riesling due to its ability to develop hydrocarbon or 'kerosene' notes as it ages. This wine can be enjoyed fresh for its vibrant fruit or cellared for a long time to experience its evolution into more balsamic and nutty flavours.
