About the Wine
Philosophy
Being slow in one’s actions means having the time to understand things better and do them the right way. Having the privilege to stop, slow down and question ourselves. Time is the secret ingredient, the most precious one, which cannot be bought, an integral part of the craft and farming world. Nature itself teaches us how important it is to give time to time, without haste. This is what Borgogno does, in their vineyards and with their wines, since 1761.   

   A century-old tradition begun by Cesare Borgogno in 1920 ensures that part of the wines from the best vintages are jealously kept in the cellars for at least twenty years.

   The result is the acquisition of outstanding roundness and balance, with precious and multiple nuances of aroma. Thanks to this successful intuition, which has since become customary, the cellars continue to represent a rare historical memory of the Langa area to this day.


Derthona
Timorasso dei Colli Tortonesi DOC
"The white Barolo". As from Nebbiolo grapes produces Barolo, Timorasso grapes produce Derthona. Derthona was the ancient Roman name of the city of Tortona. Timorasso is an indigenous white Piedmontese grape variety. It gives a rich, balanced, powerful but at the same time, fine, elegant wine.

Tasting Notes:
   Intense yellow, very clear and consistent. It is intense and complex on the nose: in the early years there are fruity smells reminiscent of pear, peach and floreal smells such as acacia flowers and hawthorn and mineral notes. The honey note is very typical of this wine. In the mouth, the Derthona is a dry, warm and soft wine with a good match between high levels of alcohol and high content in organic acids. It has no edges but the texture is balanced and very persistent.
