Tasting notes
The 2018 Verdicchio di Matelica is a bit muddled in the glass, slightly herbal with crushed apples and a hint of fresh tobacco. It washes across the palate with a salty mix of minerals and white pit fruits; a hint of sage forms toward the close. This finishes with medium length yet leaves the mouth watering, as a hint of raw almond lingers.

The 2018 Verdicchio di Matelica is spicy and refined from the first tilt of the glass, mixing notes of ripe peach with peppery florals and white smoke to create a deeply alluring display. Its inviting, silky textures quickly firm up, as a complex web of minerals, acids and hints of tannin mount, giving way to a cheek-puckering yet fully satisfying sensation that just begs you to take another sip. The tension and structure here is perfectly on point and should carry this Verdicchio in the cellar for a number of years.
