Giovanni Viberti – Derthona Timorasso – 2023

The latest new entry in Viberti’s house is Timorasso, a noble Piedmontese white grape variety from the area between Alessandria and Tortona with a unique aromatic and flavor profile that is especially exalted over the years, becoming one of the most sought-after Italian white wines to date. The vineyards are located in the Derthona area near Monleale, which has always been considered the best because of its mineral-rich soils and hilly microclimate. Low yields for a production of 5500 bottles, grapes transported inside isothermal cells in 20 kg crates to the winery after which there is a soft pressing to extract only the noble part of the must, cold maceration in steel tanks and aging on the lees for a few months before bottling. The result is a delicious wine, rich in floral scents and citrus notes where on drinking it proves taut and oily with excellent freshness and savory finish. A few years of waiting and there will be considerable excitement.

Description

One of the oldest wineries in the town of Barolo, among the first to be founded back in 1923 by Cavalier Antonio Viberti at the Good Father Inn where the first vinifications began. A family with great traditions, they bottled their first label in 1927 kicking off a history of satisfaction where their son Giovanni from 1968 expanded the property by buying land, differentiating the different vineyards and marketing their wines worldwide. Today we have reached the 3rd generation with grandson Claudio who has taken the reins of the winery introducing new cutting-edge techniques, low yields and eco-sustainability so as to increase the quality of the vineyards. They own 21 hectares distributed among some of the best Cru of the appellation such as Monvigliero, Bricco delle viole, Ravera ect. with a good part of the vines of an average age of 30 years in which there are classic Dolcetto, Barbera, Nebbiolo and some Chardonnay. A modern and thoughtful vision has been introduced in the winery without neglecting the old teachings, modern technologies such as rotovinificators during vinification so as to shorten the time, use of large truncated barrels for well-defined aromas at the end of aging. All pieces of a puzzle for one of the most celebrated names in the Langa.
