This is what good wine from the Timorasso grape tastes like

The rare Italian Timorasso grape produces striking white wines. They are firm, with a rich aroma of apricot, citrus and sometimes a touch of honey. These are fairly full-bodied, ripe white wines with refreshing acidity.

Timorasso only grows in a few hilly vineyards around the town of Tortona in the Italian wine region of Piedmont. In the 1970s it had nearly died out - large producers preferred better-known grapes such as Arneis and Cortese, and Timorasso was pulled up. A handful of winemakers, led by Walter Massa, took Timorasso under their protection. Rightly so, since Timorasso is a distinctive quality grape. It produces striking white wines and also lends itself to noble rot, so an occasional sweet version appears. Timorasso is less fond of oak aging - that costs a bit too much of the fruit in the wine.
