Walter Massa, known for reviving Timorasso, also champions the potential of Croatina, an often-overlooked native red variety of the Colli Tortonesi. Pertichetta is sourced from old vines planted on limestone-rich soils, where the combination of altitude and careful vineyard management enhances both structure and depth. Fermentation in stainless steel preserves the grape’s vibrant fruit profile, while extended ageing in large oak casks refines its tannins and complexity. The nose is rich and expressive, with aromas of ripe black cherry, plum, and wild berries, interwoven with notes of liquorice, violets, and subtle spice. The palate is bold yet balanced, with velvety tannins, lively acidity, and a long, savoury finish that lingers with hints of dark chocolate, black pepper, and earthy minerality. A structured and age-worthy expression of Croatina, showcasing its intensity and elegance.
