About

Winemaking at Mandirola pins its founding to 1913, when Enrico Mandirola, the great-grandfather of Enrico Mandirola who owns and manages the estate today, bought a small farm in the village of Casasco in the Colli Tortonesi, a hilly area in southeast Piedmont bordered by the Apuane Mountains to the south. The property included 10-12 hectares, largely planted to grapes, grain, and corn. Slowly, over the course of a century, the estate continued to invest in their vineyards and grape growing, expanding to incorporate 30 hectares of land, of which 11 are planted to vine today. Growing the typical varieties of this region, including Barbera and Croatina, their production is focused on the Timorasso grape, a white grape attracting massive interest from the wine world for its unique flavor profile and ageworthiness. Even more remarkable, Mandirola owns the oldest known plantings of Timorasso in the Colli Tortonesi, found in his vineyard named Tantei, a site from which the earliest massale selections were taken to rescue this important variety from extinction. Their Timorasso are bottled under the Derthona denomination, synonymous with this unique and cherished white variety.
