Borgogno Derthona Timorasso Scaldapulce 2020

Borgogno is the most historic winery in Barolo and the wines are produced according to tradition: long spontaneous fermentations without the use of selected yeasts in cement tanks, and long refinements strictly in large Slavonian oak barrels. They cultivate the vineyards in Barolo, Madonna di Como and on the hills of Tortona. They do not use chemical fertilizers or herbicides, they only practice sustainable treatments and with the 2019 vintage they became certified organic. DERTHONA SCALDAPULCE is the Barolo of whites, just as Barolo is made from Nebbiolo, Derthona is made from Timorasso, a native Piedmontese white grape variety. Balanced, rich, powerful and at the same time fine. After the manual harvest of the Timorasso grapes from the vineyards on the hills of Tortonesi and Monleale, a cold maceration of about 3 days takes place. Static decanting always in steel and subsequent spontaneous fermentation in cement at a temperature of approximately 17°C for 25 days. Ageing in steel for 10 months and then 7 months of ageing in bottle.
