Current condition

Bright acidity and fresh fruit character, suitable for early consumption with some aging potential

Verdicchio from the Classico zone of Castelli di Jesi with good acidity and structure typically reaches a harmonious balance of fruit and minerality 1-3 years after vintage release; this wine's moderate alcohol and crisp acidity support medium-term cellaring.

Food pairing

Pairs well with seafood, shellfish, light pasta dishes, grilled vegetables, and fresh goat cheese. Also excellent as an aperitif.
