All about Verdicchio

by Stefania Vinciguerra 02/07/23 |

We offer 5 Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Superiore which, in addition to being of extraordinary quality, are all on sale at affordable prices.

We are in the valley of the Esino River, not far from Ancona. An area inhabited since Roman times and fortified in the Middle Ages, when these territories were subject to the city of Jesi, "royal city" according to Emperor Frederick II of Swabia, who was born there.

Walls and ramparts built to fortify the villages in the area, fortified abbeys, and actual castles have meant that today the area is known as Castelli di Jesi and is recognized as the home of choice for Verdicchio. An area whose valleys wind perpendicular to the what, connecting them directly with the sea.

This particular conformation confers particular pedoclimatic characteristics, produced by the influence of the sea, breezes, sunshine, rainfall and the shelter offered by the mountains that also exceed 2,000 meters in altitude. A temperate climate but characterized by average rainfall of more than 700-800 millimeters per year and average temperatures below 14 °C., a climate very suitable for vine cultivation.

We read in the production regulations, "Verdicchio is a wine of great aromas and sensations. Structured, full-bodied and elegant, it is straw yellow with evident greenish reflections - hence the name Verdicchio - that highlight its fragrance, vivacity and remarkable freshness. It begins with decisive scents of hawthorn blossom and wild flowers and then moves on to a fresh fruitiness of peach, apple and faint hints of citrus. Unmistakable finish characterized by bitter almond aftertaste."

And let's go and see what wines we have chosen for you. They all come from the classic zone, that is, they have the mention "Classico," which is reserved for wine made from grapes harvested in the oldest original zone. They are also of the Superiore type, which is actually a somewhat anachronistic specification now, as it requires a slightly lower yield per hectare, but still quite high, and a minimum alcohol content of 12% vol. as opposed to 11.50% for Classico, which with the current climate changes seems more of a desire than a requirement.
