Timorasso came close to vanishing after the war and now makes some of the most serious white wine in Piedmont, and this is a Barolo house's take on it. Voerzio Martini carries forward the estate of Gianni Voerzio in La Morra, run today by Mirko and Federica, and their Derthona comes from the Colli Tortonesi in the eastern corner of Piedmont, the hills around Tortona whose Roman name, Derthona, is what the local Timorasso goes by. The vines were planted in 1990 at 350 meters on silty limestone with a southwest to west exposure, and the cellar work is precise and protective: twelve hours of cryomaceration with dry ice to draw out aromatics, fermentation in stainless steel at 15 to 16 degrees, and nitrogen cover afterward to keep the wine's cut intact. Timorasso is one of the few Italian whites that genuinely rewards bottle age, picking up a waxy, petrol-tinged complexity closer to mature Riesling than to anything else in the region. Drink it now for the peach and acacia, or put one away for five years and watch what happens.
