The wine

Pale yellow with green hues, opening on delicate melon and quince.

Grand Fostó is made from a selection of the best Timorasso in the estate vineyards and given time before release. Timorasso is a Colli Tortonesi white that came within a handful of hectares of extinction in the 1980s, revived largely because one grower, Walter Massa, refused to grub it up. It is now regarded as among the most serious white varieties in Italy, full-bodied, mineral and capable of a decade.

View all Vigne Marina Coppi wines

Vigne Marina Coppi is a small estate in the Colli Tortonesi hills of Piedmont, founded by the family of the legendary cyclist Fausto Coppi and named for his granddaughter. It has become one of the champions of Timorasso, the once-forgotten white grape now hailed as one of Italy's greatest.

The vineyards sit on marl and limestone in this quiet corner of eastern Piedmont, farmed with care to coax structure and minerality from the local varieties.

The Fausto and Grand Fostó Timorasso bottlings are textured, age-worthy whites of real depth, while Barbera and the delicate Favorita complete a range rooted firmly in place.

Characterful, serious and full of history, this is a estate with a story as compelling as its wines. Discover the revival of Timorasso.
