A rare single-variety Timorasso from Valli Unite, the indigenous Piedmontese grape that has been revived from near-extinction and produces whites of remarkable mineral depth, summer flower aromatics, and a vibrant, racy freshness.
Tasting Notes
A delicious and thirst-quenching mix of summer flowers, yellow plums, and wild herbs held together by racy minerals. The Timorasso character is unmistakable: high natural acidity that gives it excellent freshness, a medium body with good texture, and a long, mineral finish. A grape that deserves a much wider audience.

About the Producer
Valli Unite is a cooperative of 35 producers founded in 1981 in the Tortona Hills of Piedmont, farming 100 hectares across 35 members with a shared commitment to organic viticulture and natural winemaking. Since converting to organic methods in 2006 and adopting spontaneous fermentation in 2013, they have become one of northern Italy's most respected natural wine estates. The cooperative model means the wines reflect a genuine community effort rather than a single winemaker's vision.
