The Story
Derthona is the ancient name for Tortona, the town in southeast Piemonte after which the
appellation Colli Tortonesi (Tortona Hills) is named. We often say that Timorasso is like Ali:
“Float like a butterfly (baroque fruit and honeyed minerality) and sting like a bee (lots of well integrated acidity)”.
Timorasso is one of the longest-aging white varieties in Italy. In fact, the wine often needs an extra
year or two in bottle before it becomes fully expressive. Good vintages easily age 5 to 10 years and
continue to evolve and remain structurally sound for 20 years. As it ages, the wine takes on
characteristics that professionals may commonly associate with aged White Burgundy and German
Dry Riesling.

About La Spinetta
Producer Story
The La Spinetta story began in the 1890s when Giovanni Rivetti, grandfather to brothers Carlo, Bruno & Giorgio, left Piedmont for Argentina. Like many Italians at that time, he dreamed of returning a rich & powerful man, one day making great wine in his homeland. Though Giovanni never did, his son Giuseppe ("Pin"), fulfilled the dream. Pin married Lidia, purchased vineyards & began making wine. In 1977 the family moved to LA SPINETTA in Castagnole Lanze, the heart of the area well-known for Moscato d'Asti. The Rivetti's believed that Moscato had potential for greatness and set out to prove it by producing the region's first single-vineyard Moscato wines. Over time, the family's vision grew and the family expanded into Barolo, Tuscany, and even sparkling wine production in Canelli.
