A light smoky quality settles on the quince, floral and earth flavors. Smooth and complex, with a bitter citrus note emerging on the finish. Timorasso. Drink now through 2023.

The Vigne Marina Coppi 2015 Colli Tortonesi Timorasso Fausto shows a rich and glycerin-driven approach with orchard fruit, peach and white almond. This wine is just beginning to put on some of the extra volume and texture it gains with age; however, it still shows bright primary fruit and a crisp, tonic personality. You might try it with an antipasto of anchovies on toast. There’s a lot of lovely mineral definition on the long, polished close. This release was 6,466 bottles. 2021 – 2027
