Giacomo Boveri Timorasso Derthona 'Lacrime del Bricco' Timorasso 2023

The most powerful & potent Cru from Boveri. It’s a multiple Tre Bicchieri recipient from Gambero Ross previously.

Stainless steel elevage, 24 months on lees & then bottle aged before release.  Raised on calcareous soil with white marl – “Lacrime del Bricco” translates to “tears of the hill top” due to the miniscule yields from this superb cru.

Reviews

95 Points, Tip Top Tipple - Gary Walsh (The Wine Front) – “A richer iteration of this wine, into Chardonnay weight, but still carries a certain precision and tightness. I’m thinking chamomile, mint and honey perfume, hazelnuts, lime rind, peach and green apple, it’s also flinty, yet gently viscous, a  chalky feel to texture too, with honey drizzled nuts, some cut cucumber freshness, closing with salted almond, dried seaweed wafers, and excellent length. It’s flavoursome, yet it bursts out of the glass. Outstanding. There’s a lot to unpack here; a complex and delicious wine.”

96 Points, Lisa Cardelli (The Wine Pilot) – “There is a quiet power here, with everything tightly coiled on the nose – a glimmer of slate-like minerality, almonds, lemon pith, and red apple skin. It’s an incredibly complex wine with no rush to reveal itself all at once, carried by a saline tension gently softened by a touch of orange blossom. Structured yet deeply mouthwatering, it has the precision of a Riesling and the multidimensional depth of a fine Chardonnay. Drink one now, because you must – and age the rest.”
