Made in Italy partnership
The historical winemaking tradition of the Volpi now at its fifth generation, meets the creativity of the Berlin-based artist Memo Vithana, reating their first innovative collaboration. A limited-edition of 600 hand-numbered bottles of a Derthona Timorasso vintage 2016, a great white wine from Tortona area, perfect for aging.
Thanks to the artist’s expressivity, this limited edition wants to represent the values and the importance of giving back to the people.
Especially during this complex year, this collaboration has the goal to help the local community of Tortona, town where the winery is located. For every bottle sold, a 10€ financial support goes to Il Piccolo Cottolengo, contributing to their mission of helping children with physical and psychic deficits.

Timorasso Derthona - ZERBA ANTICA
Timorasso, an ancient and autochthonous grape variety with high potential of obtaining great white wines with spectacular longevity. Derthona, the ancient Roman name of the town of Tortona, identifying the production area.
The grapes – Colli Tortonesi DOC — coming from La Zerba Vineyards, in Volpedo, vineyards at 250m above sea level, are manually harvested around half of September. The vinification of the 2016 vintage, followed by Carlo Volpi and the young winemaker Matteo Ivaldi, saw a brief cold maceration of the must in contact with the skins. The aging – steel and bottle – for a total of about four years.
The final product obtained is a Timorasso with a structured, well balanced and persistent texture. Mineral taste, floreal smells and a characteristic hint of honey: our ZERBA ANTICA
