Hailing from Piedmont, Timorasso is arguably one of Italy’s most intriguing indigenous white varieties, with more depth, body, and complexity than many Italian whites. The 2020 Derthona Timorasso produces a structured and elegant wine with a rigid acidic backbone, aromatic lift, and developing minerality. It bursts with scents of green apple, white peach, citrus, wildflower honey, sea salt, and almond, carrying over to the medium-bodied palate. Given the generous rich texture yet fresh, vibrant acidity, it should be interesting to follow the evolution of this bottle over the next five to ten years.
