Cascina Penna Currado CASCINA PENNA CURRADO Derthona Colli Tortonesi Timorasso 2023

Description

The Derthona Colli Tortonesi Timorasso 2023 by Cascina Penna-Currado represents a refined expression of the indigenous Timorasso grape, originating from the Tortona hills of Piedmont. This dry white wine embodies the Penna-Currado family’s commitment to enhancing Piedmontese terroirs, with a particular focus on local varieties.

The Colli Tortonesi terroir is characterized by calcareous and clayey soils, which give the Timorasso a distinct minerality and structure. The temperate climate, with warm summers and mild winters, favors optimal ripening of the grapes, while preserving a lively acidity. The vines are cultivated with sustainable practices, respecting the environment and enhancing local biodiversity.

To the eye, the wine presents a bright straw-yellow color. On the nose, it offers a complex bouquet with notes of citrus, white fruit, and delicate floral hints. On the palate, it stands out for its creamy and enveloping structure, with flavors of apricot and a marked saline minerality, culminating in a persistent and layered finish.

With an alcohol content of 14%, the Derthona Colli Tortonesi Timorasso 2023 pairs perfectly with fish dishes, pasta with creamy sauces, and medium-aged cheeses. It is recommended to serve it at a temperature of 10-12 °C to fully appreciate its organoleptic characteristics.

Cascina Penna-Currado is the new personal project of the Penna-Currado Vietti family, led by Elena Penna and Luca Currado Vietti, together with their children, Michele and Giulia. After more than 35 years at the helm of one of the most renowned wineries in Piedmont, the family has embarked on this personal project, focusing on artisanal production that reflects their experience and deep connection with the lands of the Langhe and Derthona.
