Description

Vigneti Massa is an absolutely unconventional winery, led by eclectic winemaker Walter Massa, with an indipende and artistic soul. Since the 1970s Walter took over the historic family winery, used to the production of Barbera, realizing that he could invest in a grape variety that has almost disappeared, but is rather unique for its complexity and longevity: Timorasso. He can be defined as the father of this vine, enhancing and rediscovering an area as little known at the wine level as the Tortonese hills located between Monferrato and Lombardy. He planted several Timorasso plots, such as Costa del Vento, Sterpi, Montecitorio becoming symbolic bottles in the wine world. In addition to Timorasso, Barbera, Croatina and Freisa are grown. The production style is to make wines as in the past, respecting the vineyard, but also in the cellar indigenous yeasts and long macerations on the skins are used.
