Tasting Notes

The 2023 Timorasso Derthona is gorgeous. Creamy, ample and beautifully layered in the glass, it offers up hints of apricot, chamomile and white flowers, with light tropical accents that develop in the glass. Gentle, non-oxidative extraction with stems lends texture, while blocked malolactic fermentation and aging in 5HL Clayver cement barrels keeps the flavors bright. This is beautifully done. -93pts, Antonio Galloni, Vinous 

The Cascina Penna-Currado 2023 Colli Tortonesi Timorasso Derthona (with the initials "E.P." on the front label) represents a well-contemplated continuation of a project started when Elena Penna and Luca Currado were at the helm of the Vietti winery. In fact, they are two of the most vocal spokespeople for the Timorasso grape, which is growing in popularity. This age-worthy wine shows aromas of peach, pear and honey-glazed almond. With time, it should develop a more pronounced minty or mineral side. -93+pts, Monica Larner, Wine Advocate
