Description
In a nutshell:
Fantastic Piemonte white made with a very rare and exciting variety.
The lowdown:
Timorasso is an ancient Piemonte variety that produces some lovely wines but with vineyard area down to less than 200ha very rare, though pleasingly seeing some renewed interest among winemakers. Claudio Mariotto is a bit of an expert with Timorasso and this example comes from his Bricco San Michele vineyard near the old city of Tortona. Hand harvested, a year aging on lees - giving a lovely textural richness to the wine, and 6 months in bottle before release this is an intense and persistant wine. Floral, lemon and stone fruit aromas lead onto a rounded palate with mellow yellow stone fruits, touches of spice and a fresh minerality. Very enjoayble, elegant and well made wine.
When to drink:
Try with poultry or seafood, grilled vegetables, or soft cheeses.
