93pts James Suckling

Astonishing freshness on the nose of this wine, with aromas of lemon zest, Mirabelle, plums and minerals. A lot of fruit sweetness on the medium-bodied palate, zesty and tight, with a mineral-laden finish and an appley aftertaste.

Like a morning walk along the Adriatic coast, this Verdicchio captures the essence of its homeland, where verdant hillsides meet salty sea air. The wine dances with vibrant energy, its pure spirit reflecting both the limestone soils above and the maritime influence below. Fresh and crunchy, it's a liquid postcard from the Marche, where land meets sea. 

Winemaker Notes

Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi boasts a microclimate well suited for lighter and fresher Verdicchio expression. Clay and limestone amplify minerality and freshness of fruit character. A tell-tale varietal note of all Verdicchio is often described as sweet almond. Verdicchio is a non-aromatic variety, but expect a streak of citrus to show, especially lime. Because Verdicchio maintains high levels of tartaric acidity, the wines can be crisp, refreshing and highly age-worthy.

Verdicchio brilliantly pairs with Fritto Misto, and within the context of local fare, all things seafood are natural go-to pairings. Verdicchio excels with bright flavors inspired by coastal Mexican gastronomy, such as ceviche and fish tacos.
