2021 i Carpini-Colli Tortonesi DOC Timorasso Rugiada del Mattino (750ml)

The 2021 i Carpini-Colli Tortonesi DOC Timorasso Rugiada del Mattino represents a focused interpretation of Piedmont’s most promising indigenous white variety. Sourced from the designated Colli Tortonesi DOC zone and produced under the i Carpini label, this 750ml bottle delivers the structure and aromatic intensity that define the Timorasso classification. Early aromatics unfold around bright citrus peel, white peach, and crushed apple, layered with subtle notes of chamomile and wet stone.

On the palate, the wine maps that fruit-forward entry onto a medium-weight frame supported by crisp, linear acidity. The finish reveals a distinct mineral grip and faint saline undertone, traits that signal both quality viticulture and thoughtful barrel or stainless steel management. These characteristics make Rugiada del Mattino highly compatible with dishes that demand brightness and textural balance. Pair it with shellfish-based pastas, herb-crusted white fish, roasted game hen, marinated vegetables, or semi-hard aged cheeses to highlight the wine’s piercing minerality while complementing its natural richness.

This 2021 release arrives balanced and approachable, suitable for immediate dining while retaining the acidity and phenolic structure to evolve gracefully over two to four years. It provides a definitive Italian white option for consumers navigating beyond unoaked international varieties, offering clear regional identity without excessive weight or oak interference.
