Timorasso

About this wine

A Monferrato Bianco DOC made from 100% Timorasso, an ancient Piedmontese white variety that was nearly extinct before being revived by a handful of dedicated producers. Grown organically on the I Bricchi estate between Castel Rocchero and Acqui Terme, it shows the grape's characteristic finesse and lively minerality after a period of aging in both steel and bottle.

Beginner's Note

A great way to try Timorasso, one of Italy's most exciting revived white varieties, without the premium price tag of top Colli Tortonesi bottlings.

Sommelier's Note

"Scarpa's Timorasso Bianco proves that Piedmont's white wine story extends well beyond Gavi and Arneis — this is a mineral-driven white with real ageability."

Food Pairings

Excellent with seafood risotto, grilled white fish, and soft, fresh cheeses; its minerality also complements dishes with a touch of citrus.

When to drink it

Seafood dinners, warm-weather lunches, and casual white-wine occasions.
