Tenuta San Giacomo is a special wine project by Dario Bergaglio of La Chiara, one of the most important Gavi producers, which has been operating in the region since well before it got its DOC status in 1974 (and subsequent DOCG in 1998). Dario’s great grandfather was an absolute pioneer and guardian of Gavi, contributing to the first bottle of Gavi in the world. Though, Dario's newest wine is made from 100% Timorasso, the obscure, nearly forgotten white grape from Piedmont.

Tenuta San Giacomo's Timorasso is sourced from vineyards in nearby Monleale. The grapes are fermented in stainless steel, then continued to be aged in those tanks for eight months with periodic batonnage. This Timorasso pours an intense mid-gold color, emitting aromas of stone fruit and tree blossom honey. The palate is meduim-bodied and lusciously textured with flavors of peach and apricot balanced with a delightful acidity. An ideal pairing for antipasto: marinated vegetables, salumi, aged cheese... but will work well with fatty fish dishes, such as fried whole sardines or smoked trout.
