Boveri Giacomo Derthona Munta 2023

The next big thing for Italian white wine after Carricante is Timorasso; no doubt about it. And Giacomo Boveri is a master of the variety, especially if you want to see both grape and vineyard truly shine. Timorasso is often nicknamed “Barolo Bianco” (white Barolo), which gives you a sense of its potential, alcohol levels can easily climb. Some producers have released Timorasso at a whopping 16% ABV, while Boveri’s sits at 14% ABV. Nevertheless, alcohol doesn’t define this wine. Think pulpy stone fruit, crunchy red apple, hazelnuts, and blanched almonds. It’s both softly layered and taut with freshness, finishing on a distinctive red apple note –  mouthwatering and textural, thanks to 24 months on lees. Save your money on white Burgundy and buy a case of this. You’ll thank me later.
