Timorasso
PRODUCTION 4000 bts.
Timox is an orange wine made from Timorasso grape varietal in small ceramic amphoras. Only the best grapes harvested in our older vineyard are selected. After the long maceration with static cap, we let the “Time” and the Amphoras finish our job.
Timox is a project we started in 2011 with only one small amphora. Every vintage I experimented how far I could push the maceration, in order to find the best more extreme interpretation of the grape varietal. In 2015 I reached my goal and after a couple of years I bought the 7 clayvers to enlarge the production. Tasting this wine, it’s possible to fully appreciate the potential of Timorasso grapes vinified in extreme conditions.
Intense golden yellow, slightly lovely cloudy, becoming orange after time .
Pleasant notes of honey and candied fruit, spiced fruit, spices, balsamic, intensely mineral.
Warm, salty and savory, soft, balanced. Excellent persistence.
Anything that can be eaten raw , vegetable soups, meat and fish soups, ramen, tempura.
Minestrone, vegetable soups and legume soups, especially with mushrooms, rich pinzimonio, caponata.

timox in divenire e in evoluzione
*in lavorazione
La macerazione più sostenuta e l’utilizzo più a lungo del Clayver sta regalando a questa annata delle complessità promettenti, colore oro pieno satinato, leggermente torbido da sospensione delle fecce nobili lo rendono curioso.
*annata corrente
Di questa annata ricorderemo a lungo la sapidità, note balsamiche e generosità di estratto, pienezza in bocca e lunghezza.
