Winemaker Notes
Pale straw yellow in color with lovely green reflections. An intense nose with typical aromas of Verdicchio and notes of white flowers and green apple. On the palate this wine is intense, warm, tasty, fresh and quite balanced.
It will pair wonderfully with your favorite fresh cheeses or seafood dishes.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
With only 3,894 bottles released last year, the Bisci 2018 Verdicchio di Matelica Riserva Senex is a spectacular wine with impressive depth and complexity. The bouquet reveals soft swells of tropical fruit, green melon, kiwi and crushed stone. The effect is very silky and fine; however, the wine offers beautiful length. There is ample volume too and dimension, which bodes well for the long-term aging potential of this bottle. This special wine represents a culmination of experience and wisdom.

Wine Spectator
A mineral-driven white, with good length and focus, plus hints of toasted nuts, vanilla and ground ginger enriching flavors of baked apricot and patisserie apple. Aromatic notes of broom, Meyer lemon peel and honeycomb linger on the finish. Drink now through 2029. 325 cases made, 100 cases imported.
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.
