Perfect summer wine, picked up at Eataly Boston. It's the only Timorasso I've had the pleasure to drink, I still need to try the VIGNETI MASSA. Something of a cross between Erbaluce and Arneis (without the bitter almond finish). Bright and light, but with some slightly richer tropical tones... by no means a warm-climate white. Delicious! — 5 years ago

Not sure where I am at with Timorasso but this wine had a lot going on. Fascinating aromatics and crisp and lively on the palate. — 6 months ago

This was a side-by-side comparison for the same producer, same vintage, and grape to experiment with different terroir. — 3 years ago

Derthona Biancornetto Timorasso 2017

Nose is lemon floor polish in a good way. Tropical flowers. Aerating nicely. Gorgeous as it opens. Incredibly intense tropical flowers and lemons. Penetrating. Massa is more correct This is more Dali. Truly almost surreal.

Extremely rich on the palate. Tropical fruits. Not super mineral. Delicious. Juicy. Tart acidity. More like an acidic northern rhone wine than massa. Lithe juiciness on the finish. Elegant and so fine. At times acupuncture of flavors lacerate the palate. Tiny needles of flavor. So precise.

Derthona Quadro Colli Tortonesi DOC Timorasso

Wow… initially served too cold… wonderful. But as it warmed it took flight! Steely crisp and clean. Tart pear and juicy ripe golden delicious apple. Amazing power and depth. Worked with winter citrus shrimp salad and the best artichoke stuffed chicken Milanese I’ve ever had. Would be a worthy candidate for house white if they made enough. Sometimes Saturdays are made for kick-ass food and serious day drinking! — 3 years ago

Love Timorasso - so much more interesting than the ubiquitous Gavi.

Much higher concentration than Piccolo Derthona, but not yet harmonized with the structure. — 5 years ago
