Our search for a top Timorasso producer was long and meticulous. However, when Giacomo & Sara insisted I try multiple vintages of each wine, such was their pride in how their wines mature, I just knew we had found a great maker.
Giacomo & Sara are based in Tortona and are among the pioneers and champions of the renaissance of Timorasso. In our view Derthona Timorasso, or Colli Tortonesi Timorasso, is arguably Italy’s greatest white wine and certainly Piedmont’s finest. And Giacomo Boveri’s Timorasso is as good as one will find.
Giacomo produces three single vineyard cru Timorasso and a Timorasso Piccolo – the latter might be best analogised as the Petit Chablis of Timorasso. However, the wines of this great estate are not just limited to Timorasso. Giacomo also produces outstanding and age-worthy Croatina, Freisa & Barbera. - Rody Hall, Importer.
