La Colombera, Colli Tortonesi DOC (Piedmont, Italy) Timorasso 2020

Jan 4, 2023

By Miranda Franco

 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.
