Timorasso

Giacomo Borgogno & Figli

Derthona Barolo timmorasso 2022

Dark golden in color.

Strong nose that resembles a Burgundy Chardonnay.

Full bodied and soft with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing citrus, lemons, yellow apples, spices, minerals, light earth, wood, honey and herbs.

Long delicious and tangy finish.

This is a new grape variety for me. What a delicious surprise.

This white wine from Piedmont feels like a good quality White Burgundy. Tastes like it was aged in oak barrels, even though it wasn't.

Would be nice to revisit it in 5 years, and see how it evolves. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.

Wine Enthusiasts 93 points.

Good right out of the bottle, and very enjoyable by itself or with food.

100% Timmorasso grapes were aged in stainless steel vats for 12 months on the lees. A small production of only 10,000 bottles.

14% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

$60.

Costa del Vento Derthona Colli Tortonesi Timorasso 2022

2022. Worked with the sommelier to find a wine to pair with grilled octopus with harissa and walnut sauce, and grilled chicken, chanterelles, and Carolina Gold rice. This creamy bodied, nutty, stone fruit flavored delicious wine was perfect. — a month ago

Archetipo Colli Tortonesi Terre di Libarna Timorasso 2021

My first Timorasso. At first a bit dainty & shy on the nose; crushed nectar pits, white flowers, some white peach & artichoke hearts. On palate very textured, like Huet Chenin, but in a parallel universe. Minerally & reserved, this feels like it could go decades more- which is my understanding it can. The aroma notes are echoed on palate, with additional quince & pale fig notes, with a very slight off dry character (overall quite dry). For about 26$ a steal— I guess it’s a hard sell, this Timarosso.. This can either run as a food wine or not, & it’s delicious. — 5 months ago

@Ceccherini Cristiano Cec, see my 2 notes on the Massa Timorasso - 2 vintages how he grubbed out his Cortese vines and planted Timorasso, essentially saving the latter and reviving the planting of the grape.

@Bob McDonald in that case agree on that, when the cortese is in the wrong area take it off, but when you mention the Docg Gavi i don't think there is point. Plus who knows if the timorasso might grow well there...perhaps it could be a good recommendation 😅😅.
