2023 Giacomo Boveri Piccolo Derthona

A stunning new release from Giacomo.  He considers 2023 one of his finest vintages thus far.  The 2023 Piccolo delivers all the minerality & salinity you'd expect from this perennial favourite of ours.  Racy and with loads of energy.

94 Points, Gary Walsh (TWF), Tip Top Tipple - "Gee, this has some energy and zip. Green apple, lemon zest, mint and tarragon, a light salted almond top note too. It’s bright and lively, but has depth too, with a sort of a Scotch Finger biscuit creaminess, lemon oil, crushed rock texture, and a long cool finish closing with the gustatory cinch of lemon peel bitterness. This is a cracking release. In fact, it’s touch and go for 95 points."

95 Points, Lisa Cardelli (TWP) - "Timorasso is the next big thing when looking at white Italian grape varieties. Delicate citrus characters of mandarin peel, fresh-cut grass, and mandarin peel. When I look at this glass, it’s like a whiff of spring in the Sorrento peninsula. It’s salty, with crushed rocks, sealine, and acacia blossoms in the background. Good texture on the palate, yet it’s bouncing around with all that energetic freshness and zing sap. Chardonnay meets riesling."
