Tasting notes
The 2023 Derthona Timorasso is a pure expression without any oak aging and pours a medium golden yellow color. The nose is pretty and floral with aromas of honeycomb, melon, fresh pear, white flowers, and saline. The palate is savory, salty, and medium-bodied, although it has a good deal of dry extract and a glycerin-rich texture that will only be amplified as the wine ages. It is a gastronomic wine worth holding on to and checking in on over the next several years. Drink 2025-2032.

Here is a solid interpretation of the Timorasso grape from La Spinetta. The 2023 Colli Tortonesi Timorasso Derthona shows golden color saturation and opens to neutral stone fruit aromas of quince, pear and peach. This was a warm vintage, and the wine ultimately reveals a slightly waxy texture with canned peach that emerges in a second moment. In all, this is a very young expression, and as we know, Timorasso needs more bottle age before it shows its true complexity and depth. I recommend you give it a couple of years in the cellar. Fruit is organic, and 40,000 bottles were created.
The 2023 Timorasso is an attractive, expressive white from La Spinetta. Proprietor Giorgio Rivetti and his team crafted a Timorasso endowed with generous tropical fruit, spice and floral notes. Soft contours, unusual for Timorasso, add immediacy. This is sure to be a crowd-pleaser.
