Giacomo Borgogno Derthona Timorasso Scaldapulce 2021

Giacomo Borgogno Derthona Timorasso Scaldapulce 2021 is a distinctive white wine from Piedmont that showcases one of Italy’s most exciting native grapes. Made by the historic Giacomo Borgogno e Figli, it combines freshness, structure and remarkable character, offering a modern expression of a grape once nearly forgotten in the region.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a pale straw to deep straw hue with a lively, polished sheen. The nose is layered and expressive, often giving notes of ripe citrus, white flowers, orchard fruit, herbs and a subtle mineral edge, with time in the glass bringing added complexity. On the palate, Timorasso is known for its broad texture and lively acidity, and this wine is no exception, balancing freshness with depth and a pleasantly savory, lightly saline finish. It has the structure to age gracefully, developing more honeyed, smoky and nutty nuances over several years.

Production
Produced in Piedmont’s Derthona area, this wine comes from a terroir shaped by clay and limestone soils that help Timorasso develop both tension and richness. The grapes are harvested with care at optimal ripeness, then vinified to preserve the variety’s aromatic precision and natural structure, resulting in a white wine with notable personality and aging potential.

Food & Serving
This is a versatile food wine, especially well suited to seafood, shellfish, grilled fish, risotto, poultry and dishes with creamy sauces or truffle. Serve it slightly cool, ideally around 10-12°C, and consider brief decanting if you want to open up its aromatic depth and texture.

Producer
Giacomo Borgogno e Figli is one of Barolo’s most historic and respected producers, with roots dating back to the 18th century. The estate is closely associated with traditional Piedmontese winemaking and has played an important role in preserving the character and reputation of the region’s classic wines, while also helping highlight native varieties like Timorasso.
