The 2021 Timorasso Derthona Montemarzino is ethereal and light on its feet. More importantly, Luca Roagna coaxes a level of textural finesse that is not common with Timorasso, all while retaining the grape's phenolic feel. Mint, dried lemon peel, almond, sage, lime and yellow flavors all develop in this savory, vibrant dry white.
Derthona is the old name for Tortona, the area in Piedmont where Timorasso is traditionally grown. Timorasso is a grape that has proven itself to be a rising star amongst Italy's white varietals. It usually makes mineral-driven, medium-bodied whites with dried fruit notes that are sometimes oily in texture.
