Timorasso, also known by its historical name Derthona, is one of Italy’s most exciting native white grapes—an ancient variety rediscovered in recent decades and now considered one of the finest age-worthy white wines in the country.
Grown on the slopes of the Colli Tortonesi in southeastern Piedmont, Derthona Timorasso combines richness, structure, and minerality. Thanks to pioneers like Walter Massa, Timorasso has gained cult status among wine lovers looking for complex whites with character and longevity.
Expect golden hues, aromas of ripe stone fruits, wild herbs, hay, flint, and acacia honey. On the palate, it’s powerful yet balanced: full-bodied, savory, mineral, with vibrant acidity and great potential for cellaring.
At Grandi Bottiglie, you’ll find a handpicked selection of Derthona Timorasso wines, from historic producers to new artisanal winemakers. A white wine that stands apart, Timorasso is a unique expression of Piedmontese terroir—authentic, bold, and unforgettable.

Timorasso is the perfect white wine for those who love depth, structure, and aging potential. Unlike many Italian whites designed for early drinking, Derthona evolves beautifully over time—often aging gracefully for over a decade.
Young Timorasso is expressive and aromatic; aged bottles reveal layers of complexity, making it ideal for rich dishes like risottos, roasted poultry, aged cheeses, or fish with sauce.
It’s a must-try for wine lovers curious about Piedmont beyond Barolo, offering a story of rediscovery and authenticity in every glass.
