This is the realization of a new project in the Colli Tortonesi by Gian Paolo Repetto with his wife Marina: sharing efforts and research with the rest of the territory. The goal: to raise the bar for quality again and redefine an even more precise vision of Timorasso in the vineyard. In what way? Using astute science, non-invasive methods and refined cultivation techniques, but focused on sustainable agriculture.
Today Vigneti Repetto we work on 15 hectares between Sant'Agata Fossili and Sarezzano, an area once famous for its red wines, but today it is the standard bearer of the success of this "white Barolo" (which perhaps originally is linked to Nebbiolo).
The wine, Origo 2017, is immediately appreciated for its buttery density, spiced with creamy freshness. Peach, apricot in syrup, and more savory and floral components, this is an exceptional wine that is particularly suitable for further ageing in your cellar. Not to forget: quality Timorasso, at least at this level as Vigneti Repetto brings it, can go on its course for up to 15 more years, with its minerality offering a special expression.
