Timorasso
Timorasso is an ancient indigenous white grape variety, present above all in the Colli Tortonesi area, on the border between Piedmont and Lombardy. Before the phylloxera crisis, it was widespread, not only in the territory of Tortona, but also in the nearby Piedmontese provinces of Novara and Alessandria. In the reconstruction of the post-phylloxera vineyards, more generous and constant grape varieties were preferred in production, such as Cortese and Barbera. The timorasso thus risked disappearing definitively, if it had not been for the tenacity and commitment of a few winemakers, who bet on its potential and its rebirth. Today timorasso is considered one of the most interesting autochthonous white grape varieties of northern Italy, above all for its structure and longevity, which gives tertiary evolutions on the notes of resin and hydrocarbon.
