Staying Alive: a Walter Massa Wine Tasting

Walter Massa is largely credited for the resurrection of Timorasso, a native white grape variety from the Colli Tortonesi region in Italy, which was nearly extinct. Massa championed this obscure grape for many years, working tirelessly to prove its potential for producing complex, age-worthy white wine. His dedication has led to Timorasso becoming a highly sought-after and respected variety in Italy and globally.

Beyond Timorasso, Walter Massa is also known for his exceptional red wines made from local Piedmontese varieties like Barbera, Croatina, Fries and Nebbiolo. Ge farms across several distinct vineyard areas, adhering to a philosophy of minimal intervention in the winery.

Massa's impact extends beyond his own wines; he has inspired many other producers to explore and revive forgotten indigenous varieties, making him a true visionary and a cornerstone of authentic Italian winemaking.

Thank you, Walter Massa, for your hard work in keeping this grape and the tradition alive!
