The Vietti 2022 Colli Tortonesi Timorasso Derthona Boscogrosso represents a special selection of fruit from a hillside slope with southwest exposures on sandy soils. This is a generous expression of this promising grape, which has extra textural heft and layering in a hot vintage such as this. It shows a pretty sense of inner balance that could not have been easy to achieve. I tasted this wine months before its commercial release, and it had already started to flesh out. However, this is a white wine that you can easily set aside for another five years of bottle aging.

Varietal Timorasso

Timorasso is a white grape from the Colli Tortonesi, the hills around Tortona in southeastern Piedmont, and it came close to disappearing. By the 1980s only a few growers still tended it, until Walter Massa began replanting it and proving what it could do. Today it’s one of Italy’s most compelling whites. Timorasso is full-bodied and textured, with ripe stone fruit, citrus peel, and a touch of honey, held in check by bright acidity and a distinctly mineral edge. With age it picks up dried apricot, toasted almond, and beeswax, gaining depth while holding on to its acidity and mineral core. It pairs well with rich seafood, cured meats, and aged cheeses, and the best bottles reward several years in the cellar.

Country Italy

There are few countries in the world with a viticultural history as long or as illustrious as that claimed by Italy. Grapes were first being grown and cultivated on Italian soil several thousand years ago by the Greeks and the Pheonicians, who named Italy 'Oenotria' – the land of wines – so impressed were they with the climate and the suitability of the soil for wine production. Of course, it was the rise of the Roman Empire which had the most lasting influence on wine production in Italy, and their influence can still be felt today, as much of the riches of the empire came about through their enthusiasm for producing wines and exporting it to neighbouring countries. Since those times, a vast amount of Italian land has remained primarily for vine cultivation, and thousands of wineries can be found throughout the entire length and breadth of this beautiful country, drenched in Mediterranean sunshine and benefiting from the excellent fertile soils found there. Italy remains very much a 'land of wines', and one could not imagine this country, its landscape and culture, without it.

Region Piedmont

Situated in the north-western part of Italy, the region of Piedmont is known worldwide and is highly respected for the quality of the wines produced there. Many of the most successful sub-regions in Piedmont produce many of the world's finest red wines, such as those made from the excellent Nebbiolo grape varietal in areas such as Barolo and Barbaresco. However, the historic wineries which typify this region use a relatively wide variety of grapes, including Dolcetto and Barbera for their red wines, which are typically aged and have a delightful velvety character. Piedmont isn't all about beautifully complex red wines, though, as it is also famed for high quality, elegant sparkling wines, notably the Asti wines made with the white Moscato grape. The region benefits from a range of terroirs which are often well expressed in the sparkling wines, and a wonderfully consistent climate ideal for vineyard cultivation.

The 2022 Timorasso Boscogrosso is a new wine from Vietti. It emerges from a single parcel in Monleale. Aromatic and pliant, with terrific textural depth, the 2022 has a lot to offer. A brief period on the skins accents the natural richness of the variety. This is an especially refined Timorasso.

Jeb Dunnuck

The 2022 Timorasso Colli Tortonesi Derthona Boscogrosso comes from a parcel selection at the top of the hill where sandier soils are poorer and naturally limit yields. While the classic bottling spends about 10 months on the lees, this single-vineyard wine spends roughly 16 months and is aged in ceramic and stainless steel rather than large neutral cask. Pouring a bright straw hue, it has a more reserved aromatic profile with deeper savory tones, revealing pineapple rind, peach, golden citrus, yellow flowers, and beeswax. Medium-bodied yet broader and richer on the palate, it offers greater sapidity and glycerin texture while retaining a signature salty mineral finish. This powerful yet balanced expression should continue to improve with time. Pair with vitello tonnato. 2,400 bottles were produced. Drink 2027-2040.

Wine Spectator

A ripe style, boasting mango, peach, honey, vanilla and earth flavors. This white is creamy in texture and ends with a lemon note on the mouthwatering finish. Drink now through 2030. 400 cases made, 85 cases imported.

Winery Notes

In the glass it is clear, intense yellow in color. Complex hints emerge on the nose, creating a pleasant combination of freshness and pleasantness, with ethereal notes of hydrocarbons, floral notes like hawthorn and sweet notes such as honey. On the palate it is broad, fresh, mineral, complex and very persistent.
