Winemaker Notes
This light golden wine has a perfumed, complex nose with a floral quality. Very fruity.
An excellent match for hors-d'oeuvres, first courses of fish, crustacean soup, light meat, or light cheese.

Aromas suggesting tropical fruit, apricot and spring flower lead the nose along with a whiff of aromatic herbs. The aromas carry on to the juicy, polished palate along with yellow peach and white almond. A mineral vein lifts the finish.

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.
