Tasting notes
The 2018 Timorasso Derthona Montemarzino is a very beautiful and distinctive white. Lemon peel, almonds, dried flowers, chamomile and sage give this mid-weight, translucent white tons of nuance. There is some reduction, which is at the limit, in my view, of being too strong. Otherwise, there is so much to like here.

The 2018 Derthona Montemarzino is a pure expression of Timorasso. This white wine shows a light golden color, and it catches the ambient light. The bouquet is somewhat neutral, with Anjou pear, beeswax and yellow rose. There is a faint point of flint or struck match that dissipates quickly. Give this fascinating wine a few more years of cellar age to develop its bouquet and take on more volume. Only 2,820 bottles were produced.
