Borgogno, Colli Tortonesi DOC (Piemonte, Italy) Timorasso Derthona 2018

 It was only last year about this time that I learned about an Italian grape called Timorasso and tasted it for the first time.  My review on this site of a Vietti Timorasso described it as “bone dry and steely” having a “creamy texture” and “likely to age well.”   This wine from Borgogno is only the second Timorasso I have tasted.  It is from a different winery, but from the same 2018 vintage as the Vietti.  It was very interesting to get an idea of how the wine develops in the bottle and to see that it does show an ability to age with grace.  The Borgono has a light golden color and delicate citrus, peach and Ranier cherry aromas.  In the mouth the fruit flavors are enveloped in a creamy texture and lifted by bright acidity.  It is an elegant and delicious wine.  The winery website offers very interesting food pairings such as Vitello Tonnato, veal with tuna sauce, French onion soup or Samosas.
