Vigne Marina Coppi
Fausto Timorasso
Tortonesi, Alessandria, Piedmont, Italy
The petrol note blows off quickly leaving dried white flowers, paraffin, and chalk aromas. Lush, round and lower alcohol than expected. 13%ABV. I'd be interested in trying this wine in a few more years.

I am not a fan of this Timorasso, even if it is highly regarded. I prefer the Broglia. This wine is far too lemony and sour in the finish, and tastes strongly of alcohol.

My first Timorasso...what an amazing versatile varietal.... deep, rich, weighty on the palate...aromas of ripe citrus, esp lime, almost oily or viscous, but amazing complexity as the wine warmed to temp. Absolutely amazing with swordfish puttanesca, spicy crispy chicken thighs, and lobster dumplings with herb butter. I need to find a source for the wine!
