2024 La Spinetta Derthona Timorasso Colli Tortonesi, Piedmont Italy
A Happy Wine Calle Ocho Favorite — Rated 92 Points
La Spinetta, the Rivetti family estate founded in 1977, is one of Piedmont's star producers. Their Derthona is made from Timorasso, a rare white grape native to the hills around Tortona that was nearly extinct a few decades ago.
Organically farmed and made in stainless steel with no oak, it shows the pure, mineral side of this exciting grape.
