Derthona Colli Tortonesi Timorasso
Tortonesi, Alessandria, Piedmont, Italy
100% Timorasso, delicious and somewhat rare as grape almost disappeared. Golden yellow color, interesting aromas of sweet stone fruits and very slight honey floral notes. On the full-bodied palate flavors of peach and very ripe apple with and oily texture. Long finish ending with fruit and honey mineral notes. Will age a bit. Very nice! Grab one if you can find it.

Velvety texture and interesting herbal notes, but not too persistent and showing a touch too much alcohol.

Another wine pitched as “this region’s answer to Chablis”. In this case, it isn’t a bad description! Crisp and has a real minerally purity. Great acid and a nice long textured finish. One to keep an eye on!

Apr 12th, 2026Golden yellow in colour and nicely aromatic with dried herbs, summer meadow, hints of chamomile, plus some ripe yellow peach in the background. Rich yet salty, fresh & quite savoury.
Medium bodied on the palate, beautifully balanced with ripe peach countered by salty minerality and dried herbs.
This has quite some character so works very nicely with food (risotto milanese!!) less so for sipping solo.
