Talking about  terroir is easy. Creating one is a whole different story. This one.

With Enio Ferretti, Walter Massa, Andrea Mutti, Alessandro Poretti, Gian Paolo Repetto, Daniele Ricci, Ottavio Rube, Elisa Semino and Andrea Tirelli. And with Luciana Boccardo, Matteo Grattone, Alberto Lugano, Marco Pietranera, Marco Ravazzano and Simone Scotti. A film by Andrea Mignòlo.

It’s 1986 when Walter Massa, a young, ambitious winemaker from the Colli Tortonesi, vinifies 1000kg of a grape that had almost been forgotten: the Timorasso. What seemed to start out as a mere enological experiment ends up becoming a movement that captivates tens of winemakers and brings the Colli Tortonesi to the attention of wine lovers all over the world. How was this possible? How do you create a terroir?

San Timorasso retraces the story of this adventure, starting with the depopulation of the 1970’s, taking us through a series of events of an unusual group of winemakers who come together despite their differences and finishing up at the present day, when the Timorasso turns out to be a significant symbol of the era of climate change. As well as one of the most significant white wines in all of Italy.
