Freisa from Colli Tortonesi, Piedmont
Mariotto's description of this wine 'Fresh and bringer of frestive cheer' is apt! A light, dry red that can be served just slightly chilled it makes for great summer drinking. The work done to offer us a fine dusting of long even tannins balanced to the fruit weight shows great touch. The fruit development along with the varietal characteristics yielding savoury, earthy notes with the little bit of rose and musk from Mariotto's tasting notes. A refreshing playful drink with plenty of intrigue.
Timorasso from Colli Tortonesi, Piedmont
A ripping Picolo, semi-dried apricot, apricot kernel, baking spice with exceptional presence for a wine at this price point. Flowing and luscious with a sherberty refreshing acid, making for a thirst-quenching drink. A little creamy play adds richness and complexity. Textural with a faint silvery line of bitterness cleansing the finish.Paul Kaan, WINE DECODED
Timorasso from Colli Tortonesi, Piedmont
NOTE on the 2022: An excellent follow up to the 2021. A slightly more generous iteration. All of the elements once again at play. Texture, clever use of oxidative handling to build intrigue whilst maintaining a core of vibrant fruit and mineral acidity. Citrus zest and oils with pears and a little candied ginger. White flowers dance over the top with a little savoury hit. Flowing and luscious, chalky, savoury, spiced, sapidity in a cleansing way. Plenty of intrigue and interest here. An exceptio
Timorasso from Colli Tortonesi, Piedmont
The 2024 sees a fuller, more textural wine than the 2023. The more golden colour the first indication. Textural, every so slightly oily phenolics and a gentle oxidative hand yield a complex, intriguing wine. Jasmine and white flowers lift from the glass over spices, white stone fruit and a little something exotic. Viognier and Chenin feels are playing around the edges. Elegant honey mixes with pops of cumquat and citrus zest. Mouthcoating with a transparency and a little pith at play. A demonstr

Released 6 months later than the 2020 and it shows immediately. The extra time offers up a beautifully resolved wine. There’s something about the texture, aroma and flavour profile of good Italian white. That silvery line of bitterness that graces the finish. Out to play, seamless, the texture is refined with an excellent phenolic play married to fine acid. When Pietro visited Wine Deoced HQ we talked of the gentle development large oak casks offer whilst retaining freshness in a wine. This is

The latest addition to the Vietti portfolio sees a white from the eastern most border of the Piedmont region. A perfect fit for Vietti with regard to their history of working with varietals of merit that for one reason or another have diminished over time.Timorasso makes beautiful wine the Massa is a cracker. I can't wait to try Vietti's version. With a wonderful array of flavours, textures, and, wonderful acidity the variety is loaded with personality & intrigue.For the 2019: Th

From near extinction the Massa family have saved Timorasso, for that I am truly thankful! Massa’s Derthona is the perfect introduction to the serious end of the spectrum of Timorasso.Excellent build in depth and length with excellent oxidative line that sits perfectly with fine acid and insane lemon oil.Closed and a little subdued on the nose on opening. A richer iteration that has been tamed by a master craftsmen to offer us a textural, phenolic, luscious and every so slightly oily

The 2024 Timorasso is bright, airy and nuanced. This is an especially refined expression of Timorasso, a wine that tavors citrus and floral notes more than the phenolic structure that is typical of this indigenous variety. Dried flowers, mint and a touch of petrol shape the long, distinguished finish. This is such an elegant, refined wine. Antonio Galloni, Vinous 93 PointsNOTE on the 2023: It's been fascinating to watch the rise of Timorasso in the wine world. Although the first release
Timorasso from Colli Tortonesi, Piedmont
Absolutely delicious, beautiful weighting and flow, lovely acid profile & florals, refreshing just a lick of phenolics to add play to the texture. So much energy and direction. A little bit of soft green leafy herb. Spice, nicely layered lees. Harmonious. Complete. Citrus oils, lemon and much more. The fuller and richer of the two as usual.

The 2020 Cavallina is a fascinating iteration. Epic tension and minerality see it super tightly wound and taking time to resolve and build generosity. I initially tasted this over a year ago and saw the epic potential waiting for us. 6 months later it was only just starting to settle. It's one to be patient with. While the 2021 is a delicious drink straight out of the gate the 2020 is going to need time. It has a wonderful funk that I associate with low pH wines that have seen time on lees. All
Timorasso from Colli Tortonesi, Piedmont
Straight out of the gate these two top Timorassos from Claudio are again very, very good. Finer and more linear than the Calvallina, with those lemon citrus oils that delight. Lovely, refreshing. Phenolics with a light hand adding textural intrigue along with the lees. Florals and perfume entrance with grace floating above the glass. Complex funk building as it opens. Yet another success from Claudio Mariotto!Gambero Rosso Tre Bichierre Winner 🍷🍷🍷
