Some wines demand a long explanation, while others immediately prove their brilliance in the glass. This is Timorasso, Italy’s most electric, somm-obsessed white, dialed to absolute perfection. Held back on the fine lees for nearly a decade, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ethis 2017 release hits the palate like a Grand Cru Chablis with its throttle pinned—laser-focused, mouthwatering, and driven by intense mineral cut. For serious white collectors searching off the beaten path, this is your new North Star. Our Wine Team just tasted and it’s incredibly energizing on the palate. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe story behind it is just as compelling. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWinemaker Natale Simonetta and his wife Francesca run this tiny Neviglie estate, famous for safeguarding the historic Nebbiolo Rosé clone.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Natale carries a serious viticultural pedigree—\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ehis great-grandfather was Angelo Gaja’s grandfather, and he refined his craft learning from the legendary Bruno Giacosa.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e For this bottling, he sourced fruit from a friend's windswept 0.8-hectare parcel in Casasco, planted back in the 1950s. These ancient vines, sitting 480 meters on lime-rich clay, yield a tiny crop that is cold-transported, gently-pressed, and aged for nine years in neutral French oak before release.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOut of just 300 six-packs produced worldwide, we managed to secure a meager 36 bottles for our Italian faithful.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Unfolding with white orchard fruit, crushed limestone, dried herbs, and high-strung acidity, it delivers raw sensory overload with serious cellaring potential. Once these 36 bottles vanish, that’s it—don't miss out on one of the rarest, most captivating Italian whites of the decade.
