La Spinetta
Colli Tortonesi Timorasso
Tortonesi, Alessandria, Piedmont, Italy
Very clean. A bit off dry. Feels very well made, lacks a bit of character.

Don’t remember the last time I drank a Timorasso, so it was good to get reacquainted with what many wine critics consider the best Italian white variety.
Aromatic nose of apricot, lime, green apple, honeysuckle, and light white floral. Medium to full body with very good texture and sharp acidity. There is a streaking salinity that leads to an intense finish.
I believe this is the only bottling (Moscato aside) from the winery that does not see oak. First vintage is 2019. Derthona is the ancient name for the town Tortona - like Chianti.
