This is a rather fresh and cheerful lightweight at a young age, which will develop into a highly complex and more than serious white wine over the years. In the still youthful, fresh bouquet, we already find a lot of minerality and fine yellow fruit flavours, then a texture and depth on the palate that comes to the fore at 2° higher drinking temperature and appropriate aeration. It will be even better in a few years - guaranteed! SUPERIORE.DE

"Youthful appearance with notes of pome fruit, flowers and fine herbal spice; salty and mineral on the balanced palate, the acidity is lively, long and powerful. Should still mature." Vinum

"A delicate white with aromas and flavours of white flowers, lemon, lanolin and minerals. However, it is not fragile, but gains in intensity on the long finish, with notes of passion fruit and salty minerals." Wine Spectator

"I like the notes of fresh papayas and pears on the nose, along with crushed almonds and camomile. It's full-bodied but bright, with mineral undertones to the fresh fruit and a fleshy texture." James Suckling

"The 2023 Colli Tortonesi Timorasso Derthona shows golden colour saturation and opens with neutral stone fruit aromas of quince, pear and peach. This was a warm vintage, and the wine finally shows a slightly waxy texture with peach preserves emerging in a second moment. All in all, this is a very young expression, and as we know, Timorasso needs more time in the bottle before it shows its true complexity and depth. I recommend giving it a few years in the cellar." Wine Advocate

"The 2023 Timorasso is an attractive, expressive white from La Spinetta. Proprietor Giorgio Rivetti and his team crafted a Timorasso endowed with generous tropical fruit, spice and floral notes. Soft contours, unusual for Timorasso, add immediacy. This is sure to be a crowd-pleaser." Vinous
