Vigneti Massa Piccolo Derthona, 2023 Baja California 100% Melon de BourgogneHoneyed, vibrant white flowers on the nose, spearmint and petrol. Whiffs of orange and rocky soil. On the palate, sour citrus and rich texture with lime finish. Made of the Timorasso grape, which winemaker Walter Massa rescued from obscurity and near extinction in the 1980s. He now leads a mini renaissance of the variety in the Colli Tortonesi. Unique, complex. Bright and thoughtful. Capable of aging. Monleale, Piemonte, Italy
