Showcasing the extraordinary aging potential of the native Timorasso grape, Cascina Baricchi sources this cuvée from a tiny, high-elevation parcel in the Colli Tortonesi. The 70-year-old vines are planted in lime-rich, calcareous clay, imparting profound depth and structure. After a cool, indigenous-yeast fermentation in stainless steel, the wine undergoes an astonishing nine years of aging on its fine lees in neutral French oak barriques. This extended maturation yields a waxy, round texture with complex notes of juicy pear, honey, hazelnut, and a spicy mineral kick. Varietal: Timorasso Appellation: Colli Tortonesi, Piedmont, Italy Farming: Sustainable, Old Vines Style: White. Dry, rich and deeply complex
