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. — a day ago

OMG comes to mind. Primary flavors of citrus, tropical notes, maybe honey and a waxy note and the acidity to keep it straight. Got to find more.! Great producer. — 2 months ago

Vietti's 2021 Timorasso is gorgeous. The first vintages here were decidedly rustic, but the 2021 shows an added level of textural finesse that is especially apparent in its contours. Hints of lemon peel, white flowers, mint and chamomile all grace this layered, super expressive white. The 2021 was fermented mostly in ceramic and steel, with just one lot done in wood. I have never been the biggest fan of the Vietti Timorasso, but the 2021 might make me change my mind. It's a gorgeous wine in every way. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, January 2024)

My first Timorasso. At first a bit dainty & shy on the nose; crushed nectar pits, white flowers, some white peach & artichoke hearts. On palate very textured, like Huet Chenin, but in a parallel universe. Minerally & reserved, this feels like it could go decades more- which is my understanding it can. The aroma notes are echoed on palate, with additional quince & pale fig notes, with a very slight off dry character (overall quite dry). For about 26$ a steal— I guess it’s a hard sell, this Timarosso.. This can either run as a food wine or not, & it’s delicious. — 10 days ago

Solid white, not a tad but I’d dryness to it on the finish, but initially very full and fruity. “Orchardy” is how our server described it and for some reason that hit. A touch of sweetness that I enjoyed, but not overly so. — 5 months ago

Bespoke white grape is very versatile and a nearly full-bodied palate. Salty melon. — 7 months ago

Gold hue. Aromas and flavors of apple, apricot, bell pepper, lemon, and petrol, with a hint of grass and creamy notes. Medium body with medium-plus acidity. Silky and rounded mouthfeel. Complex bouquet. Elegant and balanced, with a lasting finish. — a month ago

Really different wine, lots of flavor, full bodied for a white wine. Almost a toffee fruit taste to this wonderfully yellow golden colored wine. — 3 months ago
