Montecitorio is one of Walter Massa’s three single-cru wines, planted on chalky, east-facing slopes that help to moderate ripeness and give wines with lower alcohol levels while amplifying timorasso’s naturally vigorous acidity. The 2014 Montecitorio offers scents of lime blossom and chamomile that lead into an eclectic array of flavors that include lemon tea, green apple skin, lime candy and blanched almond. A 2015 Montecitorio that Massa poured during a visit to his cantina last January was fleshier and richer, suggesting the 2014 might have been affected by the rainy summer that plagued much of Italy. After several hours of air, though, the 2014 begins to coalesce as cool acidity weaves those initially disparate flavors together. As is often the case with timorasso, this one may just need a few more years in the cellar to reveal its charm.
