The 2021 Derthona Timorasso is absolutely gorgeous. As Wine Enthusiast writes, “Timorasso is one of the most distinctive white grapes in the Italian canon, and Vietti has struck gold.” The wine is perfectly in balance, harmonious stone fruits, honey, beeswax and straw notes mingle perfectly with stony minerality and some delicious salty flavors.

Sitting just above the fog line, Fog Break Vineyard is perfectly protected from the harsh valley breezes. The vineyard retains the heart from the early morning sun throughout the day. The additional warmth, paired with the vineyard’s shallow iron-rich soils, come together to create a distinctive flavor profile that is concentrated, complex, and classically structured.
The cuvee is a rather seamless blend with a melody of flavors. There’s cherries, cranberries, and raspberries with some more subtle notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice. I think a lot of people are going to like it. It’s very well-balanced and in sync, with juicy, ripe notes, but nothing over the top. It’s still got silky smooth tannins and plenty of grace.

The new release from Umani Ronchi, the 2022 CaSal di Serra Verdicchio, is in a league of its own amongst Italian whites so far with a huge 93-point review from Wine Enthusiast and an Editors’ Choice designation. This one hits with energetic, clean notes of stone fruit, jasmine, lemon drops, and citrus fruit with a racy mineral streak throughout. The absolute perfect partner for a seafood dinner.
