Timorasso has a named varietal wine in Colli Tortonesi DOC, with at least 95% required in its vineyard composition.
Colli Tortonesi provides a precise Timorasso example.
Colli Tortonesi Timorasso requires at least 95% Timorasso in its vineyard blend. The specification also gives the wine a minimum aging period of ten months from November 1 of the harvest year. The named grape and that period of waiting are useful details to recognize on this Piedmont wine; they do not impose the same rules on every Timorasso elsewhere.
This Colli Tortonesi example comes from the delimited wine-growing hill belt of the Tortona district. The production list includes Tortona, Monleale, Volpedo and other municipalities, with Arquata Scrivia limited to the right bank of the Scrivia.
