Wine Advocate, 93 Points
"The Vietti 2020 Colli Tortonesi Timorasso Derthona (aged in a combination of oak and ceramic tile-lined cement) is a wine of nice tension and ample texture. These contrasting characteristics shape the wine, which is horizontal in approach with broad appeal. The bouquet delivers tones of orchard fruit, saffron, honey and crushed stone. This medium-bodied wine will evolve slowly over the next 10 years, transitioning to more mineral, beeswax and dried fruit aromas. Best After 2023."
Wine Spectator, 90 Points
"This is intense, all the while remaining vibrant and succulent, featuring white flowers, peach, a squeeze of lemon and lingering salinity on the finish. Though tasty and accessible now, this feels like it has the structure to develop."
Winemaker Notes:
"Clear, intense yellow color with green hues in the glass. On the nose fruity scents of pear and peach, with floral aromas of acacia and hawthorn. Typical honey notes. After 2-3 years mineral notes are more intense; sometimes emphasized by the typical scent of hydrocarbons which refines the wine. On the palate it is dry, warm, soft and very well balanced, without edges. It has a long lingering finish with a good acidity."
Alcohol: 13.5%
