Gold hue. Aromas and flavors of apple, apricot, bell pepper, lemon, and petrol, with a hint of grass and creamy notes. Medium body with medium-plus acidity. Silky and rounded mouthfeel. Complex bouquet. Elegant and balanced, with a lasting finish. — 2 years ago
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.

#17/20 (92/100) Красивый аромат с нотами мёда, прополиса, пчелиного воска, цукаты из ананаса и дыни, апельсиновой корки. Умеренная тельность, довольно высокая кислотность. Апельсиновые цукаты и базилик во вкусе. Солоноватое. Шикарно! — 7 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. — a year ago
Vigneti Repetto PiccoloDerthona Colli Tortonesi Timorasso 2021. Excellent wine. Great combination of mineral grit and citrus. — 2 years ago
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! — 6 years ago

Long live Timorasso. Apple, baked pear, marzipan - some creamy aromas. Clean, medium bodied w/medium acidity. Light tropical fruit. Drinks like a legitimate young Chablis, but more lush than austere - another dimension. — 9 years ago
Some buzz around this producer so approached with some anticipation. Restrained white flowers & confectionery Turkish delights on nose; mouthfeel quite smooth & elegant, w a stronger Riesling & Chenin Blanc presence, more of those white flowers & some RS. I’ve aged some other producers Timorasso w excellent results so see no reason this can’t do same, but this is drinking well young too. — a year ago
Much higher concentration than Piccolo Derthona, but not yet harmonized with the structure. — 6 years ago
1998 vintage on Dec 23, 2017 at Mucca Osteria (from Bob’s cellar purchased at K&L). Perfectly cellared. Rich and full bodied Barolo with mature complexity. Will age for several more years but ready to drink now. Preceded by Vigneti Massa Derthona and Giuseppe Cortese Rabajá 2012. — 9 years ago

Quite nice and drinkable. Pops big lemon, green apple, underripe pineapple, tart white citrus blend, topical melon, saline, fine powdery minerals, blooms spring flowers, grand acidity and a smartly polished finish that lasts near a minute. Crushable for $25 retail. It was served a little colder than I like my whites. Perhaps, get more out of it a bit warmer. — 3 days ago
