About this wine
Vineyard and terroir
The Vermentino comes from Guyot-trained vineyards near Brindisi in Salento, Puglia, at approximately 100 m above sea level. Proximity to the sea creates a temperate microclimate. The soil is shallow, medium-textured and predominantly sandy. Planting density is 5,000 vines per hectare.
Grapes
100% Vermentino.
Vinification
Harvest takes place during the final week of August. After destemming, the grapes remain in contact with their skins for a few hours at low temperature before pressing to enhance aromatic expression. Fermentation proceeds in stainless-steel tanks for 13–15 days at 15°C to preserve the varietal profile.
Ageing
The wine remains in stainless-steel tanks for 5 months.
Technical data
The 2025 release has 12.5% alcohol by volume.
Tasting profile
Straw yellow. Delicate white-flower aromas merge with citrus and Mediterranean maquis. Thyme and rosemary emerge on the palate, accompanying elegance, freshness, a saline-mineral character and a persistent finish.
Serving and pairing
Serve at 10–12°C with fish first courses, seafood starters or cheeses. Ideal consumption is within 2 years of harvest.
Label / history
The name Timo—Italian for thyme—evokes the Mediterranean scrub growing on the sandy dunes of Puglia’s coast and the herbal character found in the wine.
