Fuller and rounder than Castilli di Jesi. Mineral and bitter almond. Nice with grilled fish!

Pale gold. Pear, orchard fruit, citrus. Bright and lively on palate. Slight tropical notes. Some herbaceousness and almonds later on the palate. Sharp, phenolic finish that lingers.

Really interesting! Smells of honey, pears, apples, grapefruit, a little petrol, definitely minerals. Med acidic with lasting acidity, tastes of honey, ripe peaches, minerals, lots of fruit. Paired well with Cravanzina di Lunga cheese. I loved it.

Nice wine. Very aromatic with ripe apples, white flowers, peaches, pineapple, orange peel, and lemon zest. Phenolic on finish but refreshing and lingering.

A Verdicchio that manages to be round, leesy and refreshing.
