11,90 €
A fresh and mineral Vermentino, from vineyards located on the edge of the Adriatic Sea
Format:
This cuvée composed of 100% Vermentino comes from vines growing in Brindisi, Salento in Puglia at an altitude of around 100 meters above sea level. The warm climate is tempered by the proximity of the sea and the influence of ocean winds . The name “ Timo ” comes from the thyme bushes that grow along the rocky shore of the Ionian Sea. The grapes are destemmed and, before pressing, they are left in contact with their skins for a few hours at low temperature in order to extract the delicate floral and fruity notes. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats followed by 5 months of aging in the same container. This wine reveals notes of lemon , orange peel , white peach , apricot, green apple , melon , lavender , fresh thyme , wet pebbles , acacia flowers and honeysuckle . . The palate is straight, mineral and has a beautiful texture. The finish is fruity and floral.

Puglia

Puglia is a long, thin wine region located in the far southeast of the “boot” of Italy. The heel (the Salento peninsula) occupies the southern half of the region. Not only are there cultural and geographical differences from northern Puglia, but the wines are also very different. While the north is slightly more rugged and more tied to the customs and winemaking practices of central Italy, the south is almost entirely flat and retains a strong connection to its Greco-Roman past.
