Vigneti Massa
Vigneti Massa
Italy • Monleale, Piedmont
Walter Massa can be defined in all respects as the father and pioneer of the Timorasso grape variety of the Colli Tortonesi, or Tortonese hills. An independent and courageous winemaker who, after leading the family winery since the 1970s, has successfully changed, rebuilt and relaunched the enological face of an entire territory. This territory, known as Colli Tortonesi, is a small strip of Piedmontese land nestled between the Monferrato and Oltrepò areas. The greatest achievement of Walter Massa, who has become an almost legendary figure and is regarded as a guru and master of the area, was precisely that of revitalising an undervalued native white grape variety, the Timorasso. Although in the past it risked extinction, he invested significantly in it and realised its great potential for producing exciting wines with extraordinary longevity. This is how the Vigneti Massa cellars have demonstrated, and still demonstrate today, that Piedmont is not only the land of great reds, but also the home of great white wines with a strong ageing potential.
