Country: Italy / Villa Bucci Riserva
Variety: Verdicchio Central Italy
Winery: Bucci / Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Superiore
From Verdicchio’s leading producer, this is the wine that started the denomination’s renaissance into Italy’s premier white. The ’09 is beautiful, with an intense perfume of yellow flowers and stone fruits. The palate delivers concentrated peach, apricot and creamy lemon flavors, layered with mineral and spice accents. It already has stunning depth, but hold for more complexity. Drink through 2024.
