Linea Retta Colli Tortonesi DOC Timorasso Derthona 2021
Linea Retta Colli Tortonesi DOC Timorasso Derthona 2021
Straw yellow. Acacia honey, orange blossom and hints of petroleum on the nose are in harmony with floral and mineral notes on the palate. The elegance and complexity of the typical salinity defines a long and clean finish.
2021 started with a cool and rainy spring followed by a warm, dry summer. The carefully positioned nets protected the vineyards from the few hailstorms that occurred. The cooler climate of September allowed us to start an early but perfect harvest. In terms of crop, we experienced a slightly lower quantity than usual. We perceived a balanced acidity with our sugar levels.

Linea Retta is a winemaking collaboration between two renowned winemakers: Italy’s Giorgio Rivetti and Australia’s Larry Cherubino.
The name ‘Linea Retta’ (an Italian expression that can be translated as ‘in a direct line’) refers to their shared ‘vineyard first’ winemaking philosophies. Larry love’s of Italy in particular the wines of Piedmont meant that when the opportunity arose to collaborate with Giorgio he could not resist. “I have admired Giorgio’s wines from the first time I was introduced to ‘Pin’ in London almost 20 years ago and never thought I would be working with the man himself, so I feel incredibly lucky!” Linea Retta is the result.
