Lush, dense and very interesting Verdicchio. Beautifully combines the acidic bite, the appetizing bitterness and the sweet richness of warm candied lemon. Complex nuances of spice, pastry and rocks add to the overall presentation.
Although this is certainly one of the best Verdicchios I ever tasted, I generally prefer La Monacesca’s Mirum... Especially when I take their pricing into consideration.

La Monacesca "Mirum 30 Year" Verdicchio di Matelica Riserva
K&L Staff Member notes
This refreshing white from Italy's Marches region (on the calf section of the Italian boot) is made entirely from Verdicchio, with its layered bouquet of vanilla, butterscotch and almonds, and vibrant citrus and Golden Delicious apple flavors on the palate, this wine pairs perfectly with seasonal vegetables, poultry and seafood. — 4 years ago
un Mirum in fase di prima apertura, forte di un’espressione olfattiva certamente colma di materia – di fiori gialli di campo e bianchi carnosi – e allo stesso tempo di sentori freschi di lime e pompelmo. Tutto su una luminosità composta da palesi caratteri minerali che ricordano l’alga marina e i sali da bagno, per un sorso energico e intenso, di esemplare completezza, un vibrante sviluppo dei caratteri acido/minerali che si allunga in un mare salato. — 9 years ago
Spring 2020. This was very similar to the standard bottling, with just a bit more intensity and a bit more bittersweet almond - very nice indeed. — 4 years ago
Grossly underpriced. — 9 years ago
