Poggio
Poggio produces white wines from Piemonte's Colli Tortonesi zone, drawing on Timorasso—a native variety prized for its mineral precision and aging potential. The region's continental climate and clay-limestone soils shape wines of structure and complexity. L'Archetipo Colli Tortonesi Terre di Libarna Timorasso and Caespes Colli Tortonesi Terre di Libarna Timorasso represent the winery's focus on this varietal, each capturing the distinctive character of the Terre di Libarna subzone. Wine Spectator has rated both expressions, recognizing their depth. Timorasso itself—once nearly extinct, now experiencing renewed attention among serious producers—demands careful viticulture and winemaking. Poggio's commitment to this grape reflects the broader revival of Piemonte's lesser-known white varieties, offering an alternative to the region's more celebrated reds.
