Ezio Poggio 'Caespes', Timorasso, Colli Tortonesi 2021
This Timorasso takes its name from the Latin word ‘Caespes’, which broadly refers to the soil and land in which these particular vines are planted. Whilst many producers are choosing to age their wines in oak, Ezio wants freshness and fruit purity in his final wines. He ages in stainless steel, producing a wine bursting with ripe citrus, bruised apple, dried herbs, and fragrant spices, with a healthy whack of flinty minerality to round it out. A fantastic alternative to textured Chardonnay. Excellent to drink in its youth, but certainly a wine that will develop in bottle.
