Tasting notes
The 2019 Timorasso is powerful, layered and ample. Apricot, white flowers, almond, graphite and chamomile all grace this ample, textured Timorasso. Tropical and petrol notes grace the expansive finish. A bit of skin contact adds quite a texture. The 2019 is a big step up from the 2018. A big step.

This new wine saw its debut last year with the 2018 vintage. Vietti and many others in Piedmont are adding Timorasso to their estate portfolios, thanks to the grape's ability to age and flesh out gracefully with more time in the bottle. This 2019 Colli Tortonesi Timorasso Derthona opens to a rather neutral bouquet at this young stage, with honey and lightly fragrant apricot. Primary fruit is at center stage, but we can expect the wine to settle into notes of crushed mineral and beeswax with time. This was a release of about 9,000 bottles.
