Castelli Di Jesi, Ancona, Marche, Italy
The 2018 Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Superiore Misco leaps from the glass with intense citrus yet rich, creamy, even spicy, more like lemon curd than fresh fruit, offset by musky crushed stone and dusty florals. It hits the palate with silky, round textures, ushering in ripe yellow fruits laced with salty minerals, all framed by brisk acids. The finish is long and incredibly fresh, leaning more toward the tart spectrum, hinting at orange rinds and wild herbal tones. The Misco is a wine of contrasts, with satiating richness yet overbrimming with energy. (Eric Guido, Vinous, September)

I confirm the delectable note. A uncommon balance between freshness and complexity. Good for aperitif and/or food pairing. My one was with grilled asparagus and morel in cream sauce. Outstanding!

Bright greenish yellow. Crushed rock, lemon peel, herbs and lime on the nose. On the palate it's rich and broad. Ripe orange, apple, herbs and spicyness. Firm with excellent focus and medium+ length. Ends nicely with lemon and apple notes. Year in year out a great Verdicchio Superiore with excellent qpr
