For the price, this wine rocks. Weekday go-to. Such nice black fruit. Light tannins. Great with tomato. And by itself with antipasto. — 14 days ago

The 2016 Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Podium from Garofoli is just starting to show a bit of mellowing on the nose, opening to notes of ripe yellow apple, sweet florals, almond paste and stone dust. It soothes with silky textures, ushering in flavors of white peach, laced with salty minerals and a twang of green citrus. There’s so much density, giving way to a savory spiciness that lingers in the mouth along with hints of hazelnut. The 2016 has many years to go before reaching full maturity, but it can be enjoyed now on its potential alone. (Eric Guido, Vinous, September) — 7 months ago

Good choice. Ready to drink just at opening. Oak. Fruity, chocolate nuance. Blue black fruits flavor. Enough spiciness. 2012 @1280, Ascent, 201224-210102 — 4 months ago

Not so strong smell, but carries far. A bit dry and very nicely bitter, not sweet at all. Black berries. — 2 years ago

Loud and proud!
Very dense and structured wine screaming for creamy, rich, truffled food. Or lobster. Would be fine, as well. — 4 months ago

This Verdicchio shows pretty yellow flowers, hints of smoke, lime-infused apple and savory herbs. Zesty and fresh, punching well above its price point, the 2019 is soft, juicy and full of lively tension. The palate literally aches for another sip. $15.00 (Eric Guido, Vinous, November 2020) — 6 months ago

Look up "inexpensive dry Italian red wine" in the dictionary and you may get a picture of this. Super drinkable. Light and zippy. — a year ago
