Giacomo Borgogno & Figli
Derthona Barolo timmorasso
Barolo, Cuneo, Piedmont, Italy
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.
