Winemaker Notes
Bright straw yellow with greenish reflections. Clean and fresh on the nose, the bouquet is very complex and ranges from aromas of white flowers, stone fruit, citrus notes and aromatic herbs. A structured wine with nice freshness, sapidity, minerality and persistence; fruity on the palate with the typical almond after-taste of the Verdicchio varietal.

This is fresh and flavorful, with aromas of sliced apples, pears and some floral notes. Medium-bodied, clean and polished with vivid acidity. Shows crunchiness and freshness at the end. Drink now.
One of central Italy’s classic white grapes, Verdicchio thrives in two distinct zones of the Marche. The best vineyards of Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi adorn hillsides a mere 20 miles from the Adriatic Sea. The vineyards of the smaller, more inland Verdicchio di Matelica, are at higher elevation. Somm Secret—Recent genetic discoveries have proven that the Verdicchio grape is identical to Trebbiano di Soave, Trebbiano di Lugana and Trebbiano Veltenesi.
Stretching along Italy’s eastern coast with neighbors, Umbria to its west and Abruzzo to its south, Marche is a region with a varying climate from north to south. Its coastal plains roll into hills that become the Apennine Mountains, which run the length of the country. The Marche's best red wines come from the grapes, Montepulciano and Sangiovese; the local Verdicchio makes refreshing, crisp and light whites.
