Winemaker Notes
Pale straw yellow with green reflections. Intense, typical, white flowers, green apple. The palate is intense, quite warm, tasty, fresh, quite balanced with a slightly bitter finish.

Wine Spectator
A lithe, finely-balanced white, weaving a subtle thread of salinity with notes of Gala apple, pineapple, pickled ginger and pink grapefruit pith. A linear version, fresh and mouthwatering through the lingering, mineral-driven finish. Drink now through 2026
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.
