Notes: Delicate white floral aromas combine with notes of thyme & rosemary in this elegant, refreshing & mineral wine from one of our most popular producers.

The vines are grown in Brindisi, Salento in Puglia at an elevation of approximately 100 metres above sea-level. The warm climate is tempered by the proximity to the sea & the influence of the strong oceanic winds. The wine takes its name Timo from the thyme bushes that grow along the rocky shoreline of the Ionian Sea, whose scent fills the air with herbal fragrance of the Mediterranean garrigue known locally as maquis.

The wine was aged in stainless steel for five months, to retain the purity of fruit & preserve the varietal profile.

Producer Info: In 1962, 19 vine growers from San Marzano whose families had farmed the land for generations, combined their efforts to establish ‘Cantine San Marzano’. Through the decades this cooperative has grown significantly, attracting over 1,200 vine growers. Using modern & technologically advanced vinification techniques they produce elegant wines that pay homage to the ancient Apulian wine traditions. The fusion of time honoured tradition, passion & contemporary techniques, enables this winery to produce wines with distinctive varietal & regional characteristics while reflecting the local terroir. In the Sommelier Wine Awards, San Marzano was awarded
European Producer of the Year 2017.
