DESCRIPTION:
One of the most famous and historically noteworthy offerings in the Marches region, the dry white wines sold under the title Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi are made from the ancient Verdicchio grape variety. The Castelli dei Jesi wine-producing zone encompasses the hilly territory around the town of Jesi in the province of Ancona. This area features fortified villages which were built here in medieval times, and which give rise to the Castelli part of the DOC name. The terroir here is ideal for the production of mineral-tinged dry white wines, thanks mostly to its calcareous, clay and limestone rich soils and a relatively dry maritime climate. The temperate climate here is due to Jesi’s proximity to the Adriatic, and to the presence of various local rivers (most notably the Cesano and Esino).
TASTING NOTES:
Dark crimson in colour, spicy and cherry laden nose with a hint of oak. Tart and tannic with balance. Sour cherries and pepper dominate the palate.
