Timorasso is a robust white grape from Piedmont\u2019s Tortona hills, revived by Walter Massa. It thrives in calcareous clay soils, yielding age-worthy, mineral-driven wines.<\/p>\n

Characteristics<\/h2>\n

The wine has a golden-yellow color. Complex aromas of apricot, beeswax, and petrol evolve into honey and almond with age. On the palate, it is full-bodied with high acidity and a saline, almost tannic finish.<\/p>\n

Pairings<\/h2>\n

Ideal with tajarin al tartufo (truffle pasta), roasted guinea fowl, and aged Castelmagno cheese.<\/p>\n

Curiosities<\/h2>\n

Nearly extinct in the 1980s, it\u2019s now the star of Colli Tortonesi Timorasso DOC. Requires 3\u20135 years to reveal its complexity. <\/p>\n
