Tasting of the Territory

Timorasso is the symbolic wine of these hills. An autochthonous white grape variety, cultivated in Val Curone, Val Grue and Val Borbera since ancient times, rediscovered and valued in the 90s and today one of the most interesting white wines in Piedmont. At Foresteria La Merlina you will find all the Derthona Timorasso labels on the market — each producer, different vintages — because for Marco, Luciana and Clara this wine is not just a product: it's the territory itself, in the bottle.

In this tasting you will taste five, chosen from our cellar. To accompany them, a platter that brings together two souls of this place: the cured meats we produce — the Salame Nobile del Giarolo, the and the copa — and the local cheeses, including Montebore, a Slow Food presidium and one of the oldest cheese in Italy, produced a few kilometers from here.

The guided tour of the vineyard and olive grove completes the experience: a way to understand the landscape that shapes each glass, and to take home something more than a memory.
