2023 Giacomo Boveri Muntà l’è Ruma Derthona (PRE-ARRIVAL ONLY)

Pre-arrival price only, wine will be $95 when landed.

95 Points, Gary Walsh (The Wine Front) – “This is a tight and flinty wine. It has a gentle smokiness, white nectarine, green pear and citrus, dried herbs, and in particular mint and oregano. It’s lively, nutty and sappy in acidity, distinctly chalky, with a pulpy and lightly bitter lemon zest finish of excellent length and precision. So good.”

95 Points, Lisa Cardelli (The Wine Pilot) – “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. 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.”

From a superb vintage for Boveri & a master of this variety - laden with white stone fruit, lime, lemon verbena. It’s wonderfully long & poised.  The texture is slatey, talc like & chalky, punctuated by lots of wet stone mouthfeel. The screwcap closure & structure of the wine will provide for a long & bright future for this release.
