Ex Tempore

Vermentino IGT Costa Toscana

Suddenly

While walking through the woodland, you suddenly come across our vineyards, completely surrounded by the Mediterranean scrub. “Ex Tempore”, literally meaning “out of time”, perfectly represents the core philosophy of our estate: going beyond conventional patterns, stepping outside the rhythm of the modern world, and striving to remain deeply connected to the surrounding nature and to the natural character of the wine itself. An anachronistic white wine that deliberately contrasts with the typical characteristics of its time.

CHARACTERISTICS: Pale straw-yellow in colour with delicate golden highlights. Vermentino thrives in close proximity to the sea, which enhances its pronounced salinity. Fresh and lively on the palate, with floral notes and aromas of white fruit, particularly pear and apricot. The small percentage of Malvasia adds greater aromatic complexity and depth to both the nose and the palate.
