Ezio Poggio, Archetipo 2020

Ezio is the third generation of Poggio family to farm in the Borbera Valley, located in the Apennines in northern Italy. The zone is best known for Barbera, but more recently there has been a renaissance of the local white Timorasso grape. Ezio is part of a growing legion of Timorasso evangelists who believe that this grape, from this place, makes wines to be reckoned with - we certainly agree. Archetipo 2020 is made from 100% Timorasso. Grapes are gently pressed and fermented in stainless steel tanks. The wine is aged for 12-14 months on lees at a constant temperature in these tanks, with batonnage. It is lightly filtered and kept in bottle for a further six month before release. Aromatic with citrus and spice on the nose. White flowers, a textured chalkiness, mouthwatering acidity, well-structured with a long concentrated finish.
