- 2012 Vigneti Massa Colli Tortonesi Montecitorio - Italy, Piedmont, Colli Tortonesi (19/05/2018)
pale lemon colour and a watery coloured rim.
Some complexity to the nose, with lemon, oatmeal and a hint of mint & lime.
The lemon comes through again with the vibrant acidity, but this balances very well with the textural richness that is typical with Timorasso. Butter comes through on the persistent finish, but the acidity helps keep a sense of balance here as well.
A grape/region I really enjoy. The acidity helps hide the 14% alc and balance the texture, an area where some can have a challenging profile.
No rush to drink, but it is in a good place now
