Natalie's Score: 91/100

Fontanafredda Colli Tortonesi 2023 is a striking expression of the Timorasso grape, once nearly lost to history but now thriving in Piedmont. Known for its exceptional aging potential, this vintage highlights vibrant tropical fruit and ripe pear in its youth, complemented by acacia, almond, and honeysuckle nuances. Its depth and complexity promise beautiful evolution in the bottle, making it equally rewarding for immediate enjoyment or patient cellaring through 2033. Pair it with seafood Alfredo or creamy aged cheeses.

Timorasso food pairings: seafood Alfredo, creamy aged cheeses, grilled pompano.
