Winemaker Notes
Straw yellow in appearance. Intense and complex aromas of flowers, fruit and chlorophyll notes. Great structure on the palate; intense, savory, and persistent.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The Bisci 2019 Verdicchio di Matelica Vigneto Fogliano opens to fresh tones of Granny Smith apple, kiwi and honeydew melon. I enjoyed the very delicate way that this wine covers the senses. It starts with slow-building intensity and eventually opens to a much wider display of fruit, crushed stone and spicy ginger. The wine's fresh acidity pulls it all together.
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.
