- TASTING NOTE: The Rèis Timorasso sits on the rich end of the white wine spectrum. The first smell gives away a complex mix of ripe nectarine and lemon juice, hay, oyster shell salinity, and green mango sap. It has a generously layered palate combining a sprightly acidity with intense flavours of ripe stone fruit, dried dill, warm gravel, some sweet spices, and a distinct pineapple tongue-numbing sensation. So much intrigue and a very wholesome finish with a lasting impression.
- ABOUT THE WINE: 100% Timorasso from a single vineyard in the Colli Tortonesi, Piedmont, hand harvested and naturally fermented in stainless steel. It spends 12 hours on skins before being soft pressed with fine lees into stainless steel tanks. Some battonage builds texture. It was bottled after 12 months maturation and further aged in bottle for 6 months.

ABOUT THE PRODUCER: Rèis is the brainchild of six native Piemontese friends (they’ve known each other since high school) with a love for making wines from their mother land. As the youngest generation in long lineages of grape growers and winemakers, they wanted to nod to their region’s history by unearthing Timorasso’s full potential. Today, they purchase grapes from two sisters who tend small vineyards in Berzano organically. Importer notes
