Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi DOC

Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi DOC is located in the rolling hills of western Marche surrounding the medieval castles (castelli) of Jesi, extending from the Adriatic Sea inland toward the Apennine Mountains. The area benefits from a Mediterranean climate moderated by cooling sea breezes and significant day-night temperature variations, with predominantly clay and limestone soils that contribute to the wines' characteristic mineral profile. The wines are made primarily from the Verdicchio grape variety, producing crisp, elegant white wines known for their almond-bitter finish, high acidity, and aging potential, with the Classico and Riserva Classico designations representing the traditional core production zone and highest quality expressions.

This Verdicchio from the Castelli di Jesi area in Italy's Marche region is the kind of white wine that makes you question why you don't drink more Verdicchio. The 'Biancoperla' designation hints at its pearl-like clarity and purity – and it delivers on that promise with remarkable precision. What sets this bottle apart is how it manages to be both refreshingly crisp and surprisingly complex. It's got that classic bitter almond note that Verdicchio is famous for, but wrapped in layers of fruit that keep evolving in the glass. Perfect for seafood lovers, this wine practically begs for a plate of fritto misto or grilled fish. It's the kind of versatile white that wine professionals secretly hoard for themselves – but now the secret's out.
