{"title":"Feature Variety ➺ Timorasso","description":"\u003ch1\u003eTimorasso was once considered a bit of a pain in the behind. Low-yielding, hard work, not especially fashionable, so it nearly disappeared altogether. Thankfully, in the 1980s–90s, one man decided it was worth saving. Walter Massa replanted it, championed it, and proved its worth. Without him, it would probably still be a footnote. Thanks to that revival, Timorasso now stands as one of Italy’s most compelling white grapes.\u003c\/h1\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"la-spinetta-colli-tortonesi-timorasso-2023","title":"La Spinetta - Colli Tortonesi Timorasso 2023","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eA truly spectacular and memorable white wine.

Treats for grown-ups to giggle giddily over, and this 100% Timorasso bottling is no exception. Hand-picked in mid-September of 2021, the grapes were destemmed before a gentle pressing, which was apportioned across ceramic, steel and oak. Aged 10 months with fine lees kept in suspension. The result is a honeyed wonder; pears, peaches, balance, richness.
