POGGIO EZIO 2022 Colli Tortonesi Timorasso 'Caespes' (Piedmont, Italy)

The Colli Tortonesi in Piedmont is home to the glorious white grape called Timorasso. POGGIO EZIO farms in the subzone of Libarna, at the Southernmost tip of Colli Tortonesi. Here, abandoned Roman runs and overgrown forests contribute to a very unique feeling - and EZIO is the only producer bottling wine here! He is able to harvest later than other areas, due to the high winds and slightly cooler climates. Libarna’s terroir offers vertical wines – with marked acidity (verticalità ed
acidità spiccata, Ezio says). They highlight Timorasso’s green herbal side
(thyme, green tea, tomato leaf), along with under-ripe stone fruits and low
alcohol (~ 12.5%).
