Verdicchio di Matelica

This wine has a beautiful golden yellow color in the glass. Aromas of apple, citrus, and a good bit of salinity are on the nose. The palate shows apple, apricot, lemon peel, and that wonderful saline quality. The acidity is fresh, but not ripping. The finish leaves a savory fruit flavor behind. Pair it with chicken dishes, cacio e pepe, or risotto.

Nice! Better than I remembered.

Crisp, intense, citrus herbs and stone. A nice little bitter note on the finish.

Tart! Full body. Malolactic complexity with lots of white melony fruit. Peaches

honeysuckle, nougat, Granny Smith, peach, apricot preserves, orange blossom ~ creamy up front finishing with crushed minerals almost to the point of pepper

Family party, so truncated notes. A more traditionally styled VdM. Flinty, minerally nose. Broad mouthfeel, full and stony.

Bright and focused with refreshing minerality, bitter lemon pith, lots of zest, white pepper and jasmine. I could have easily called this Gruner.

Orange peel and dried figs. Nice floral notes, herby but not green. More flowery. Fun and different with each sip.

Benchmark verdicchio di matelica. Fresh, mineral, classic green almond, stone fruit, round. Served too cold, really opened up as the wine came up to temp. Wouldn't mind a little more acid, but who cares when the wine is already this good.

Verdicchio this good should be illegal!
