White Wine Ezio Poggio "Caespes" Timorasso di Labarna

The Ezio Poggio estate sits in the Terre di Libarna, one of the more austere sub zones of the famed Colli Tortonesi.  Here, the altitude and wind contribute to a much cooler microclimate, one that allows for long hang time and later harvests.

This fantastic cuvée, the Caespes 2021, made from four separate plots of Timorasso, is a lovely, linear, highly aromatic example.  All of Timorasso's intriguing nuttiness and texture is here, but with a high-toned, herbaceous and racy feel, that's also so beautifully elegant, as well.  The casual profundity here is really quite fabulous.
