La Colombera Timorasso Colli Tortonesi Derthona

Acquerello (San Francisco) : Extremely crisp and a tad acidic, with super vibrant notes of tart apple and white peach notes. A bit of a steely minerality on the back end. A nice pairing to a MIND-BLOWING dish of cured squab carpaccio, hazelnuts, cherries, taggiasca olives, and aged balsamic vinegar. The brine and sweet-and-sour cherry flavors were cut beautifully by the wine. This was one of my favorite dishes of the evening.

Quite exciting wine made out of 100% Timorasso. The bouquet opens up with some apple and a little sauvignon "funk". The wine is medium bodied and really starts singing with some piedmontese antipasti. Quite a steal, for what it delivers.

Timorasso, piccolo germoglio di Saint Aubin che prende vita a pochi passi da casa, quando l' acciaio benefico ne preserva intatta la freschezza, la mineralità stridente e l' agrume che gioca con i fiori. Non cercate complessità, ma una brezza cristallina che lava, sgrassa e purifica. Vi prego, fatelo morire su una tartare di tonno!!
