La Battistina Timorasso Secondo, Monferrato DOC 2024

IAR061

Araldica Castelvero

Timorasso is a little known white grape found in part of Piemonte that is experiencing a resurgence in interest. Vines were planted at La Battistina in 2021 and after a small first vintage last year, we're excited to now have some of the 2024 to sell in the UK. It's the 'second' wine of the estate, hence the name.

Production

The Timorasso vines are cultivated in a small plot at La Battistina Estate with north-easterly exposure. After harvesting the grapes are destemmed and crushed and the juice fermented for about two weeks in stainless steel vats. It also undergoes malolactic fermentation. The wine stays on fine lees in stainless steel for about 10 months prior to bottling.

Tasting notes

Ripe stone fruit aromas leading to a textured palate with citrus and apricot characters alongside nutty, mineral notes and bright acidity. The finish is long, savoury and lightly saline.

Food match

Enjoy with creamy pasta and risotto dishes and seafood.
