2019 BORGOGNO SCALDAPULCE DERTHONA COLLI TORTONESI

From the experience of the micro-vinifications of our Barolo M.G.A., here the first vinified vineyard in purity of Derthona: Derthona Scaldapulce.

We were the first “foreign Barolists” to land in the Tortonesi Hills. In 2019 we decided not to stop and we wanted to vinify our second Derthona.

From a careful selection of our Timorasso grapes in the 3 hectares in Monleale, in the east part, and at a higher altitude of the historic Scaldapulce vineyard, our first cru of Derthona was born: the Derthona Scaldapulce.

Just like for the Barolo crus.  A reduced production, only on allocation.  The first cru and an infinite new story to write.

Deep gold color with green highlights. It is intense and complex on the nose, with mineral notes. In the mouth, the Derthona Scaldapulce is savory, full bodied, structured and very persistent. A wine that lends itself well to a long aging.
