Made exclusively from Timorasso grapes, this wine stands out for its intense aromatic profile, where clear \u003cstrong\u003enotes of quince\u003c\/strong\u003e are accompanied by hints of almond, hazelnut, graphite, and flint. On the palate, it proves to be \u003cstrong\u003esmooth and balanced\u003c\/strong\u003e, supported by a solid structure and marked persistence, characteristics that give it significant potential for ageing. It presents as a harmonious and satisfying taste, ideal for pairing with fish-based recipes, medium-matured cheeses, or selections of \u003cstrong\u003eaged cheeses\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis expression of the Timorasso grape variety originates in Piedmont, within the Colli Tortonesi denomination, a wine-growing area capable of giving wines a distinctive and recognisable character. The vineyards cultivated by Montalbera are rooted in \u003cstrong\u003eclay and limestone soils\u003c\/strong\u003e, fundamental geological elements for transferring structural depth and a \u003cstrong\u003edistinctive mineral character\u003c\/strong\u003e to the wine. The grapes come from carefully selected plots across Grana, Castagnole Monferrato, and Montemagno, where the various hillside exposures favour the optimal development of the clusters, defining a white of profound consistency and a marked \u003cstrong\u003elink to the territory\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe production of Calypsos Derthona begins with a careful harvest of the grapes at optimal ripeness. In the cellar, the clusters undergo soft pressing, followed by traditional white winemaking. Fermentation takes place entirely in \u003cstrong\u003estainless steel tanks\u003c\/strong\u003e, a precise technical choice to enhance and keep the freshness of the fruit intact. The refinement phase also takes place in steel, excluding the use of wood, thus allowing the wine to define its \u003cstrong\u003earomatic harmony\u003c\/strong\u003e. Before being released for sale, it undergoes a further rest period with \u003cstrong\u003eageing in the bottle\u003c\/strong\u003e in a horizontal position.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and interesting facts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded at the beginning of the twentieth century, the Montalbera estate boasts \u003cstrong\u003ea century of winemaking history\u003c\/strong\u003e between the Langhe and Monferrato. The winery honours ancient Piedmontese tradition through this Timorasso, guided by the expert hand of \u003cstrong\u003eoenologist Nino Falcone\u003c\/strong\u003e. By tending to the hillside vineyards rooted in clay soils with absolute dedication, the winery shapes a proud expression of the \u003cstrong\u003eColli Tortonesi Denominazione di Origine Controllata\u003c\/strong\u003e.
