Vietti itself is the combination of two winemaking families with decades of experience – the Viettis and the Currados. It started off as just the Viettis as Carlo took over from his father Marco. But Carlo only had a daughter, Lucianna who ended up marrying the winemaker and art lover, Alfredo Currado who brought about many of the changes the winery still enjoys today.
Today, Vietti is still considered one of the best wineries in all of Piedmont if not Italy. Under the capable hands of Luca Currado Vietti and his wife Elena, the estate has reached new heights and shows no signs of slowing down. In fact, in 2016, thanks to a key purchase in the Colli Tortonesi area Vietti added a new white wine, one that has proven to be an extremely welcomed addition, the Timorasso.
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.
This is a serious white wine. So much depth. So much complexity. This is an age-worthy special wine that will be just as good if not better in five years. It has that kind of trajectory ahead of it.

Timorasso is one of the most distinctive white grapes in the Italian canon, and Vietti has struck gold. Aromas of fresh and baked yellow peaches and spiced pears mix with hints of petrol, magnolia and dried mango. Wild honey, beeswax and a limestone minerality give volume, complexity and depth to this wine, finishing with fresh and lifted acidity.

A beautiful Timorasso with salted caramel, sliced mango, pear and apple aromas and flavors. Medium to full body. Bright and vivid acidity at the end. A lovely combination of ripe fruit and wild, crisp acidity. Vegan. About 30% aged in ceramic. Drink now.

A pale straw color, the 2021 Derthona Timorasso is set to be released in May of 2023. It has a savory richness to its aromatics of pine resin, fresh lime flower, and melon and is tangy on the palate, with medium body, saline, the stony texture of wet asphalt, Meyer lemon, and chamomile.
For years now, I’ve been absolutely delighted by the White Burgundies at Domaine Corsin. There’s really good reason for that. The Corsin’s holdings in Pouilly-Fuissé include many of the best situated sites in the appellation. This wine comes from a selection of older vines grown in these limestone soils. The current vintage is simply showing fantastic at the moment. The 2020 Corsin Domain’s Pouilly-Fuissé ‘Vieilles Vignes’ displays a bright golden hue with a hint of green. Its subtle bouquet with a woody-vanilla note enhances the slightly sharp, sophisticated fullness on the palate mingled with a generous underlying impression of toasted bread.
Glistening pale yellow-green to the rim, infused with mouth-watering aromas of ripe apple, pear and quince, and crushed almonds with honey and rich creamy middle and a fantastic rush of acidity and minerality that are present throughout. A calling card of Bonhomme’s Vire-Clesse, if you closed your eyes and took a sip, it would have you convinced you were drinking Meursault at least a 3x price tag.
This is a super elegant Meursault from the family-run estate located in the village of Monthelie, between Volnay and Meursault in the heart of Burgundy’s Côte de Beaune. It leads with nutty aromas of brioche, fresh butter and delicate citrus and is extremely well structured, long and stylish with great purity of fruit.
Year in, year out Château Turcaud produces one of the best white wine values in the world. It’s long been found on Michelin-starred wine lists in Paris and we’ve had it at the restaurant since Day 1. If you’ve ever tried this stunning, classic Bordeaux of Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, Sauvignon Gris and Muscadelle, then you know why. The new 2022 vintage has arrived and it’s beaming with energy and pure stone fruits. This is a beauty as always.
