Verdicchio Castelli Jesi Villa di Bucci

Italy, Le Marche

Nr Castelli di Jesi, Ostra Vetere, Marche. 100% Verdicchio. Vinification is made separately for each vineyard and this is the vineyard's special cuvee from the oldest and best exposed vines. Harvested by hand with soft pressing and then selection of the first quality. It is aged 2 years in oak and then 6 months in the bottle. The colour is light golden with a complex flora which could be mistaken for a fine Burgundy. The flavours are well balanced and classy in that smooth first taste opening out to deliver ripe acidity on the finish. The winery is situated underground thereby having a cool ambient temperature in which to ferment the wine. Cold water is sprayed over the tanks to help the natural evolution and personality of the wines which are housed in 50 year old large Slavonian oak barrels. If you feel Verdicchio is a wine of little interest this will definitely change your mind. Excellent matches for appetizers, first course especially seafood, white meats and fresh light goat's cheeses. Can be laid down for up to 10 years.
