Opener pre meal. Maybe the beginning of a love affair: only the 3rd Timorasso I’ve tried; waxy white fruits, mildly floral on nose, a bit of that wooly thing reminiscent of Chenin Blanc; also, similar texture. Moderate acidity. Delicious stuff that suits strong smelly cheese & charcuterie.

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.
