Description

Caespes is a Latin word that refers to the soil or, more broadly, the land in which these vines are planted. While other producers age Timorasso in wood, Ezio only uses stainless steel to preserve the fruit purity. The result is fresh and mineral with notes of citrus fruits and spices, it has a moreish mouthwatering acidity, chalky structure and a long finish.

Ezio Poggio

Ezio Poggio’s winery and vineyards lies in a valley of Libarna [lee-BAR-nuh] in Val Borbera in the Colli Tortonesi DOC in southeast Piedmont, Italy. The Poggio family does everything themselves, from the vineyard to the cellar. They farm organically and take a minimalist approach in the cellar without being dogmatic. Ezio’s sister Mary handles the back of the house, and her husband Big Marco (Marcone) works with Ezio in the vineyards. They always seems to have someone who just dropped by to help, an extended family member or friend.

Piedmont

Piedmont or Piemonte, located in northwestern Italy, is renowned for its prestigious and diverse wines. The region's varied climate and rich soils, particularly in the Langhe and Monferrato areas, are ideal for viticulture. It is famous for its robust reds, especially Barolo and Barbaresco, both made from the Nebbiolo grape, known for their complex aromas, rich tannins, and ageing potential. It also excels in Barbera, producing wines with vibrant acidity and cherry notes, and Dolcetto, offering fruit-forward, approachable reds. On the white side, Gavi, made from the Cortese grape, is known for its crisp, refreshing character. Piemonte’s blend of traditional winemaking techniques and modern innovations offers a rich and sophisticated wine experience.
