A bottle that bends the rules of what a Piedmont white can be. Daniele Ricci farms Cascina San Leto in Costa Vescovato, in the eastern Colli Tortonesi — the same calcareous-clay soils that Serralunga d'Alba is famous for, just an hour east. Giallo di Costa comes from his oldest Timorasso vines, planted in 1986 at the top of a steep hillside. Then comes the surprise: roughly 90 days of skin contact, submerged-cap, before aging in stainless until bottling. The result lands somewhere between a classic Timorasso and a serious orange wine — deep golden, textural, electric, full of citrus and stony herbal lift. Organic farming throughout. The 2018 is in a great window: still vibrant, with the secondary complexity that long maceration and a few years in bottle bring. Wildly distinctive.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Pork shoulder, aged cheeses (Castelmagno, Comté), grilled mushrooms, vitello tonnato, or fritto misto. Skin contact makes it a real food wine — give it bold flavors.

Tasting Profile

Deep amber-gold. Aromas of dried apricot, candied lemon peel, beeswax, chamomile and a flinty, herbal edge. Medium-bodied, textural and grippy from the skin contact, with persistent acidity and a clean, slightly bitter herbal finish.
