Vietti, Derthona Timorasso Piedmont 2021

94 points James Suckling
"A beautiful timorasso with salted caramel, sliced mango, pear and apple aromas and flavors. Medium to full body. Bright and vivid acidity at the end. A lovely combination of ripe fruit and wild, crisp acidity. Vegan. About 30% aged in ceramic. Drink now."

94 points Wine Enthusiast
"Timorasso is one of the most distinctive white grapes in the Italian canon, and Vietti has struck gold. Aromas of fresh and baked yellow peaches and spiced pears mix with hints of petrol, magnolia and dried mango. Wild honey, beeswax and a limestone minerality give volume, complexity and depth to this wine, finishing with fresh and lifted acidity."

Vinous Reverie Notes
This bottling is the newest addition to the Vietti portfolio, with the first vintage being the 2018. The Timorasso grapes are carefully selected from multiple vineyards within the Alessandria Province in Monleale. The vines are subject to southeast and southwest exposure and grow upon clay/limestone soils.The fermentation process lasts 4 weeks and happens in cermic, wood, and stainless steel casks without undergoing malolactic fermentation. Tasting Notes: Aromatically the wine has notes of ripened, juicy peaches as well as crunchy pears, wild flowers, and fresh honey. The palate is medium bodied with flavors of golden apples and a creamy fruit forward texture.
