“‘Titulus’ is Fazi Battaglia’s benchmark cuvée—a dry, aromatic Verdicchio.
Hand-picked in the vineyard and softly pressed in the cellar, this gauzy, luminescent white has a slight green tinge, characteristic of Verdicchios—the root of the word is, unsurprisingly, verde, meaning green. After a cold ferment in stainless-steel tanks to emphasize the fresh fruit flavours, the wine is aged on its lees (or yeasts) for four more months for additional body and texture.
On the palate, you’ll encounter notes of crisp green apple, Meyer lemon, ruby grapefruit, fennel frond and white almond with bright, mouth-watering acid, a glistening minerality and a distinct saltiness reminiscent of the Adriatic. Titulus reveals added depth in its delicately nutty finish, akin to fresh hazelnuts or macadamias.”
