The wine region of Colli Tortonesi
Southeastern Piedmont DOC around Tortona, marl-limestone soils. Signature Timorasso as white king (native saved by Walter Massa in the 1980s): structured and mineral with yellow peach, apricot, candied citrus, honey, herbs, almond and a petrol touch at maturity, taut palate and long ageing — nicknamed "Barolo bianco". Historic Barbera in red: juicy and fresh (cherry, plum, spices). Also supple Dolcetto, spicy Freisa, fleshy Croatina.
The wine region of Piedmont
Kingdom of Nebbiolo: Barolo and Barbaresco DOCG, long-ageing reds with firm tannins and lively acidity, complex aromas of withered rose, sour cherry, tar, truffle and undergrowth. More accessible, tangy Barbera on red fruit, supple, crisp Dolcetto. Sweet, floral sparkling Moscato d'Asti, mineral, lemony Gavi (Cortese) white, round, almondy Arneis from Roero. 50,000 ha across the Langhe, Roero and Monferrato, UNESCO.
The word of the wine: Astringency
Chemical stimulation that tightens the mucous membranes of the mouth and causes a sensation of harshness, which is characteristic of the presence of tannins. With time, the tannins lose their harshness and become softer.
