Description
What type of wine it is
The Timorasso Fausto by Vigne Marina Coppi is a Piedmontese white wine made from Timorasso grapes from the Colli Tortonesi denomination, aged in steel. On the nose, it interweaves hints of white flowers with a vibrant mineral texture, enriched by pleasant citrus touches. On the palate, a significant structure emerges, supported by a distinct sapidity and a persistent finish with clear notes of pink grapefruit. Awarded the 5 Grappoli Bibenda, it pairs perfectly with white truffle risottos, shellfish, and soft cheeses.
Where it comes from
This wine originates in Castellania, Piedmont, among the hills of the Colli Tortonesi. The vineyards, cultivated using organic farming, grow on a soil of calcareous marls, an essential geological matrix for infusing the glass with a clear sapid character. The favourable hilly climate ensures excellent quality of the Timorasso clusters. The name is a tribute to grandfather Fausto, a symbol of the winery's deep family bond with the territory and the desire to enhance its most authentic identity.
How it is produced
The production process begins with a manual harvest in the morning, followed by soft pressing of the grapes and cold settling. Fermentation takes place slowly at a controlled temperature; malolactic fermentation is avoided to preserve natural acidic tension. Maturation involves ageing on the noble lees in steel tanks for approximately ten months, with careful bâtonnage. A further rest in the bottle completes the production cycle, harmonising the components to deliver a white with a marked propensity for ageing.
History and interesting facts
Produced in Castellania by the Vigne Marina Coppi winery as a tribute to grandfather Fausto, this Timorasso expresses the pure essence of the Colli Tortonesi. The result of a careful manual harvest, this artisanal label enhances the natural freshness of the grape variety through a slow fermentation, without undergoing malolactic fermentation. Patient ageing for twenty months between steel and bottle shapes a structure with remarkable longevity. Awarded 5 Grappoli by Bibenda, this Piedmontese white offers the palate a deep and vibrant mineral harmony.

Gli incontri con gli anziani del paese e l’amore per questa terra faranno scoccare la scintilla.
La superficie vitata è di pochi ettari, quelli di una piccola realtà familiare, e consente la coltivazione diretta delle uve puntando essenzialmente alla qualità. Il legame con la tradizione ha determinato la scelta dei vitigni per dare importanza all’unicità dei vini.
Il Timorasso, con la sua storia radicata in queste terre a partire dal medioevo, è la varietà d’uva a bacca bianca che più rappresenta quest’angolo di Piemonte. La Barbera, indiscussa regina tra le uve a bacca nera, è da sempre presente nel Tortonese. I vini sono la sintesi tra moderne tecniche di vinificazione e la cura e la competenza che solo chi ama e da sempre conosce queste vigne può dare.
La produzione si può definire "artigianale" e si aggira intorno alle 25 mila bottiglie l’anno.
Questo permette di seguire direttamente e con estrema cura ogni fase del lavoro di cantina, per ottenere vini che esprimono la personalità dell’uomo e la forza della terra.
