Accornero, Derthona 2023

Timorasso is an almost forgotten Piedmontese grape that has been taken seriously again in recent years. The vineyards around Tortona produce a white wine with body and tension, a counterpart to the region's more famous red wines. This is the first year Accornero has released this cuvée.

What you smell
White flowers and citrus peel, with a fresh, slightly spicy undertone.

What you taste
Tight and exciting, with a lively acidity that keeps the wine upright. The finish is long and harmonious, without being heavy. A white wine with structure, suitable for drinking now but also for keeping for a few years.

How it's made
100% Timorasso, hand-picked in September. Gentle pressing and fermentation in stainless steel, without oak influence. Then two years of bottle aging before release. Yield of 70 hl per hectare.

Serve
Serve at 8 to 10 degrees in a medium-sized white wine glass. Decanting is not necessary, although it gains complexity if left open for half an hour.

Pairs well with

  • Risotto with lemon and parmesan: the citrus notes in the wine pick up the lemon, the structure stands up to the creamy rice.
  • Baked sea bass with herb oil: the fresh acidity cuts through the fat of the fish and the floral nose matches the herbs.
  • Grilled chicken with rosemary: enough body to handle white meat, the tension keeps the dish light.

Accornero is wijnboer in Vignale Monferrato sinds 1897, en verkocht de druiven aanvankelijk aan de plaatselijke coöperatie. Pas in 1957 besloot Giulio Accornero zelf wijn te gaan maken. Zijn zonen zetten dat voort, en inmiddels staat ook de nieuwe generatie klaar.

Piemonte staat bekend om Barolo, maar het grootste deel van de streek doet iets anders. In Monferrato en rond Asti maken kleine huizen wijn van Barbera, Grignolino, Freisa en Ruchè, druiven die zelden verder komen dan de regio zelf.
